Rank Aggregation/Evidence
Method evidence record

Rank Aggregation

Rank Aggregation is a family of methods that combine multiple ranked lists of alternatives into a single consensus ranking. Formally studied in the context of web search by Dwork, Kumar, Naor, and Sivakumar (2001), these methods address the problem of synthesizing divergent preference orderings from multiple sources — such as search engines, expert judges, or voter ballots — into one coherent, representative ordering that minimizes overall disagreement across the input rankings.
