Functions to prepare rankings data and fit the Plackett-Luce model
jointly attributed to Plackett (1975) <doi:10.2307/2346567> and Luce
(1959, ISBN:0486441369). The standard Plackett-Luce model is generalized
to accommodate ties of any order in the ranking. Partial rankings, in which
only a subset of items are ranked in each ranking, are also accommodated in
the implementation. Disconnected/weakly connected networks implied by the
rankings may be handled by adding pseudo-rankings with a hypothetical item.
Optionally, a multivariate normal prior may be set on the log-worth
parameters and ranker reliabilities may be incorporated as proposed by
Raman and Joachims (2014) <doi:10.1145/2623330.2623654>. Maximum a
posteriori estimation is used when priors are set. Methods are provided to
estimate standard errors or quasi-standard errors for inference as well as
to fit Plackett-Luce trees. See the package website or vignette for further
details.
