Estimation.PL.GMM {StatRank}

GMM Method for estimating Plackett-Luce model parameters

Description

GMM Method for estimating Plackett-Luce model parameters

Usage

Estimation.PL.GMM(Data.pairs, m, prior = 0, weighted = FALSE)

Arguments

Data.pairs

data broken up into pairs

m

number of alternatives

prior

magnitude of fake observations input into the model

weighted

if this is true, then the third column of Data.pairs is used as a weight for that data point

Value

Estimated mean parameters for distribution of underlying exponential

Examples

data(Data.Test)
Data.Test.pairs <- Breaking(Data.Test, "full")
Estimation.PL.GMM(Data.Test.pairs, 5)
