Posterior Probabilities for a Consensus Ordering.

Fligner, Michael A.; Verducci, Joseph S.

Psychometrika, v55 n1 p53-63 Mar 1990

The concept of consensus ordering is defined, and formulas for exact and approximate posterior probabilities for consensus ordering are developed under the assumption of a generalized Mallows' model with a diffuse conjugate prior. These methods are applied to a data set concerning 98 college students. (SLD)
