    Modelling Rankings in R: the Plackettluce Package

    Computational Statistics (2020) 35:1027–1057 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00180-020-00959-3 ORIGINAL PAPER Modelling rankings in R: the PlackettLuce package Heather L. Turner1 · Jacob van Etten2 · David Firth1,3 · Ioannis Kosmidis1,3 Received: 30 October 2018 / Accepted: 18 January 2020 / Published online: 12 February 2020 © The Author(s) 2020 Abstract This paper presents the R package PlackettLuce, which implements a generalization of the Plackett–Luce model for rankings data. The generalization accommodates both ties (of arbitrary order) and partial rankings (complete rankings of subsets of items). By default, the implementation adds a set of pseudo-comparisons with a hypothetical item, ensuring that the underlying network of wins and losses between items is always strongly connected. In this way, the worth of each item always has a finite maximum likelihood estimate, with finite standard error. The use of pseudo-comparisons also has a regularization effect, shrinking the estimated parameters towards equal item worth. In addition to standard methods for model summary, PlackettLuce provides a method to compute quasi standard errors for the item parameters. This provides the basis for comparison intervals that do not change with the choice of identifiability constraint placed on the item parameters. Finally, the package provides a method for model- based partitioning using covariates whose values vary between rankings, enabling the identification of subgroups of judges or settings with different item worths. The features of the package are demonstrated through application to classic and novel data sets. This research is part of cooperative agreement AID-OAA-F-14-00035, which was made possible by the generous support of the American people through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

Over the many years of our friendship, it was always obvious what the conversation would be about when I called him, whether the call was about getting some otherwise-unavailable information or simply to visit. Both were always enjoyable. But when he called me, anything was fair game…and it often turned out that way. When he called this time, as usual, he came right to the point. “I been thinkin’, Jim. We’re right on top of celebrating the 40th anniversary of the small-block Chevy and there are still some of the original engineers out that ought to finally get some recognition for what they did. The PRI Show is comin’ up and I’ve told Steve Lewis (Show owner and producer) it’s time to put these guys on stage in front of the industry.” From this single conversation, Smokey Yunick made another indelible mark in his long string of historical contributions to the high performance and motorsports communities. Mind you, nothing was said about “Is this a good idea?” or “Do you think anybody cares about these people?” It was already a done deal. The only question up for discussion centered on the best way to accomplish the task.
