In this paper, a class of probability models for ranking data, the order-statistics models, is
investigated. We extend the usual normal order-statistics model into one where the
underlying random variables follow a multivariate normal distribution. Bayesian approach
and the Gibbs sampling technique are used for parameter estimation. In addition, methods
to assess the adequacy of model fit are introduced. Robustness of the model is studied by
considering a multivariate-t distribution. The proposed method is applied to analyze the …
In this paper, a class of probability models for ranking data, the order-statistics models, is investigated. We extend the usual normal order-statistics model into one where the underlying random variables follow a multivariate normal distribution. Bayesian approach and the Gibbs sampling technique are used for parameter estimation. In addition, methods to assess the adequacy of model fit are introduced. Robustness of the model is studied by considering a multivariate-t distribution. The proposed method is applied to analyze the presidential election data of the American Psychological Association (APA).
