A Note on Paired Comparison Rankings

Rankings of Income Distributions: A Note on Intermediate Inequality Indices

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of several intermediate inequality measures, paying special attention to whether inequality rankings between income distributions are affected by the monetary units in which incomes are expressed. In particular, we show why one of the most popular intermediate inequality approaches, that proposed by Bossert and Pfingsten (...

Paired Comparison: A User Perspective

Paired comparison is an expert based judgment estimation technique. The method reduces individual judgment errors by requiring multiple pair-wise comparisons of relative sizes. Observations made in an academic environment shows that paired comparison produces more consistent results across estimators compared to ad-hoc methods and planning poker. A tool is introduced, which implements a more ef...

A Note on the Comparison of Topologies

A considerable problemof some bitopological covering properties is the bitopological unstability with respect to the presence of the pairwise Hausdorff separation axiom. For instance, if the space is RR-pairwise paracompact, its two topologies will collapse and revert to the unitopological case. We introduce a new bitopological separation axiom τS2σ which is appropriate for the study of the bit...

A symmetric analysis of paired rankings with application to temporal patterns of hormonal concentration.

Mallows (1957, Biometrika 44, 114-130) introduced a simple model to describe the distribution of subjects' rankings of the items from some fixed set. Both Feigin (1992, in Probability Models and Statistical Analyses for Ranking Data, 75-91. New York: Springer-Verlag) and Critchlow and Verducci (1992, Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series C 41, 17-29) have considered an asymmetric ext...
