Item-weighted Kemeny distance
Description
Compute the item-weighted Kemeny distance of a data matrix containing preference rankings, or compute the kemeny distance between two (matrices containing) rankings.
Usage
iw_kemenyd(x, y = NULL, w)
Arguments
x |
A N by M data matrix, in which there are N judges and M objects to be judged. Each row is a ranking of the objects which are represented by the columns. If there is only x as input, the output is a square distance matrix |
y |
A row vector, or a N by M data matrix in which there are N judges and the same M objects as x to be judged. |
w |
A M-dimensional row vector (individually weighted items), or a M by M matrix (item similarities) |
Value
If there is only x as input, d = square distance matrix. If there is also y as input, d = matrix with N rows and n columns.
