Verify, against a clean primary text, that Dawid & Skene (1979) proposes weighting each observer's vote by 'his previous performance'

Dawid & Skene (1979) credit Dempster, Laird & Rubin (1977) as the source of the EM numerical method their model is built on

Dawid & Skene (1979) propose performance-weighted consensus voting in their introduction but never name, derive, or test it as a method in the rest of the paper

A phrase is not a pedigree — 'weighted (majority) voting' names several unrelated machines, and the real lineages run somewhere else

The crowdsourcing 'weighted majority voting' RA-RAG inherited was itself built on a 1979 model of disagreeing anaesthetists, not a machine-learning paper

capture promoted Tier 1 2026-08-13 · RAG, machine-learning-theory, voting-theory, crowdsourcing, medical-statistics
Dawid & Skene (1979) reportedly proposed weighting each observer's vote by past performance — RA-RAG's mechanism, 46 years earlier — but the exact wording is not yet quote-verified

Dawid & Skene's 1979 confusion-matrix/EM paper — crowdsourcing's cited root — is a clinical-medicine study of five anaesthetists rating 45 patients

Li & Yu (2014) credit Dawid & Skene's 1979 confusion-matrix/EM model as 'the first improvement over majority voting'

RA-RAG's 'weighted majority voting' is a real, citation-traceable 46-year lineage from a 1979 clinical-medicine EM paper — not another independent convergence
