Eigenpoll
 | This article needs attention from an expert in Statistics. (February 2009) |
An eigenpoll is a type of statistical survey which gathers knowledge from the community. It differs from opinion polls by finding the best solution, rather than finding the most popular opinion.
History of eigenpolls
The eigenpoll is attributed to Knud Haugaard Sørensen.
Methodology
The idea behind the eigenpoll is to let voters compare and rank options. If the option is not present, respondents may add their own. Through a series of selections, a score and rank is computed. These results are continually updated as the polling progresses.
Potential for inaccuracy
The results may be affected by response bias, where the answers given may not truly reflect the opinions or beliefs of respondents.
