Claim 8:
9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the mathematical representation is a first mathematical representation, the normalized mathematical representation is a first normalized mathematical representation, the vector is a first vector, and the processor is further configured to:
generate a second mathematical representation based on the plurality of ballots,
the second mathematical representation having a size of X by Y, the second mathematical representation indicating, for each search engine from the plurality of search engines and for each candidate from the Y candidates, how that search engine ranked that candidate at the ballot (1) from the plurality of ballots and (2) associated with that search engine;

generate a normalized second mathematical representation by dividing each value in the second mathematical representation by Z, Z indicating a number of search engines used to train the trained statistical model; and
generate a second vector based on the normalized second mathematical representation, the inputting including inputting the second vector into the trained statistical model to generate the output.
