The stability of equilibrium results against various possible changes in threshold distributions is considered. Beginning with a frequency distribution of thresholds, the models allow calculation of the ultimate or "equilibrium" number making each decision. The key concept is that of "threshold": the number or proportion of others who must make one decision before a given actor does so this is the point where net benefits begin to exceed net costs for that particular actor.
