Some crowdsourcing platforms ask workers to express their opinions by approving a set of k good alternatives. It seems that the only reasonable way to aggregate these k-approval votes is the approval voting rule, which simply counts the number of times each alternative was approved.

Drug-free production programs may have varied consequences on ...

Studies of patient safety and comparative effectiveness entail unique methodologic challenges. These studies may be susceptible to systematic error, including selection bias, exposure misclassification, and outcome misclassification. They may also be vulnerable to random error, or confounding by a variable such as another drug, a disease, or the drug indication itself. Finally, special logistic...
