Abstract:BayesMallows is an R package for analyzing data in the form of rankings or preferences with the Mallows rank model, and its finite mixture extension, in a Bayesian probabilistic framework.The Mallows model is a well-known model, grounded on the idea that the probability density of an observed ranking decreases exponentially fast as its distance to the location parameter increases. Despite the model being quite popular, this is the first Bayesian implementation that allows a wide choice of distances, and that w… Show more
