VSE for 5 key voting methods

Without running Schulze I can't do scenario breakdowns, but here's the aggregated numbers

"Smart one-sided" strategy is when the supporters of the runner-up use strategy if and only if it works. This is unrealistic, but it makes it possible to see how much of the VSE penalty for one-sided strategy is due to backfire.

Aggregated VSE

With stronger Condorcet strategies.

VSE, not broken down by scenario

Including RP and Borda. Negative VSEs (for Borda) are divided by 10 to ensure they fit on the graph.

VSE plot, with sizes

VSE for hierarchical voter model and fuzzy media model (standard params).

This shows VSE, broken down by scenario, for several voting methods and 2 strategic models. It uses a hierarchical voter model with "standard" parameters, and a "fuzzy" media model at 1 standard deviation of fuzz.
