... distributions and other parameters of interest can be identified from aggregate electoral data. We also show that these objects can be consistently estimated and illustrate our analysis by performing an actual estimation using data from the 1999 European Parliament elections.

..., the scope of each principle can be defined as the Voronoi tessellation of all cases that are more similar to a paradigm case for the principle in question than to a paradigm case for any other principle. A paradigm case is either a case we know ex-ante to be (one of) the most typical cases to which...

... tessellations of paradigm cases. A Voronoi tessellation divides space into a number of regions such that each region consists of all cases that are closer to a predetermined seed point (paradigm case) than to any other seed point for another principle. The distance between two cases reflects their degree...
