Estimation and clustering with infinite rankings

چکیده
This paper presents a natural extension of stagewise ranking to the the case of infinitely many items. We introduce the infinite generalized Mallows model (IGM), describe its properties and give procedures to estimate it from data. For estimation of multimodal distributions we introduce the ExponentialBlurring-Mean-Shift nonparametric clustering algorithm. The experiments highlight the properties of the new model and demonstrate that infinite models can be simple, elegant and practical.

An Exponential Model for Infinite Rankings
This paper presents a statistical model for expressing preferences through rankings, when the number of alternatives (items to rank) is large. A human ranker will then typically rank only the most preferred items, and may not even examine the whole set of items, or know how many they are. Similarly, a user presented with the ranked output of a search engine, will only consider the highest ranke...
متن کاملRankcluster: An R package for clustering multivariate partial rankings
Rankcluster is the first R package proposing both modelling and clustering tools for ranking data, potentially multivariate and partial. Ranking data are modelled by the Insertion Sorting Rank (isr) model, which is a meaningful model parametrized by a central ranking and a dispersion parameter. A conditional independence assumption allows to take into account multivariate rankings, and clusteri...

متن کاملEstimation of Binary Infinite Dilute Diffusion Coefficient Using Artificial Neural Network
In this study, the use of the three-layer feed forward neural network has been investigated for estimating of infinite dilute diffusion coefficient ( D12 ) of supercritical fluid (SCF), liquid and gas binary systems. Infinite dilute diffusion coefficient was spotted as a function of critical temperature, critical pressure, critical volume, normal boiling point, molecular volume in normal boilin...
متن کاملExperimental Evaluation of Algorithmic Effort Estimation Models using Projects Clustering
One of the most important aspects of software project management is the estimation of cost and time required for running information system. Therefore, software managers try to carry estimation based on behavior, properties, and project restrictions. Software cost estimation refers to the process of development requirement prediction of software system. Various kinds of effort estimation patter...
