Copeland Model

The Copeland Model is a way to rank options or candidates based on their pairwise comparisons. Imagine you have several choices and compare each one directly against every other in a head-to-head contest. The Copeland score for each option is calculated by counting how many times it wins against others minus how many times it loses. The option with the highest score is considered the most preferred because it performs well in comparisons against all alternatives, providing a systematic method to determine overall rankings in decision-making processes.
