Subhi When there are numerous possible solutions for a given class in a given problem, majority voting or plurality voting is typically employed. One common technique for improving classification accuracy is bagging, which involves training many classifiers on slightly different datasets and then voting on the combined results. In this research, we examine how alternative voting procedures affect the efficiency of two distinct classification algorithms applied to datasets of varying complexity. Despite the increased computing cost associated with determining preference order, the results show that the single transferable vote can be a suitable alternative to plurality voting. 2022 2022 08 15 10.54216/JAIM.020101 https://www.americaspg.com/articleinfo/28/show/1411
