multivariate data essentially rely on linear algebra to a certain extent, summarizing ranking
data, viewed as realizations of a random permutation $\Sigma $ on a set of items indexed by
$ i\in\{1,\ldots,;{n}\} $, is a great statistical challenge, due to the absence of vector space
structure for the set of permutations $\mathfrak {S} _n $. It is the goal of this article to develop
an original framework for possibly reducing the number of parameters required to describe …
