Abstract:

The method of paired comparisons can be found all the way back to 1860, where Fechner made the first publication in this method, using it for his psychometric investigations [4]. Thurstone formalised the method by providing a mathematical background to it [9-11] and in 1927 the method’s birth took place with his psychometric publications, one being “a law of comparative judgment” [12-14]. The law of comparative judgment is a set of equations relating the proportion of times any stimulus k is judged greater on a given attribute than any other stimulus j to the scales and discriminal dispersions

Abstract:

The method of paired comparisons is seen as a technique used to rank a set of objects with respect to an abstract or immeasurable property. To do this, the objects get to be compared two at a time. The results are input into a model, resulting in numbers known as weights being assigned to the objects. The weights are then used to rank the objects. The method of paired comparisons was first used for psychometric investigations. Various other applications of the method are also present, for example economic applications, and applications in sports statistics. This study involves taking paired co

Abstract:

This paper develops a new approach to the analysis of longitudinal paired comparison data, where comparisons of the same objects by the same judges are made on more than one occasion. As an alternative to other recent approaches to such data, which are based on Kalman filter- ing, our approach treats the problem as one of multivariate multinomial data, allowing dependence terms between comparisons over time to be incorporated. The resulting model can be fitted as a Poisson log-linear model and has parallels with the quadratic binary exponential distribution of Cox. An example from the British

Abstract:

Introduction: A typical task in quantitative data analysis is to derive estimates of population parameters based on sample statistics. For manifest variables this is usually a straightforward process utilising suitable measurement instruments and standard statistics such the mean, median and standard deviation. Latent variables on the other hand are typically more elusive, making it difficult to obtain valid and reliable measurements. One of the most widely used methods of estimating the parameter value of a latent variable is to use a summated score derived from a set of individual scores for

Abstract:

Residential real estate forecasting has become a part of the larger process of business planning and strategic management. Several studies of housing price trends recommend confining statistical analysis to repeated sales of residential property. This study presents an alternate methodology which combines information only on repeated residential sales regardless of the changes that has been made in the house in-between the sales. Additive and multiplicative models were used to forecast the residential property prices in Nelson Mandela Metropole. Data was collected from various sources and was

This is a data-driven study using clinical data provided by UK international company. Their objective was to evaluate biomarkers as surrogate endpoints of the clinical outcomes and specifically to investigate differences between two treatments based on biomarkers. The study raised three issues which are common in clinical trials: surrogate validation (especially with multiple surrogates), missing value imputation and treatment comparison. Biomarkers have been widely used as surrogate endpoints in clinical studies. In the current study, multiple biomarkers were suggested as substitutes for the

Abstract:

Paired comparison models in loglinear form are generalised linear models and can be fitted using the IWLS algorithm. Unfortunately, the design matrices can become very large and thus a method is needed to reduce computational load (relating to both space and time). This paper discusses an algorithm for fitting loglinear paired comparison models in the presence of many nuisance parameters which is based on partition rules for symmetric matrices and takes advantage of the special structure of the design matrix in Poisson loglinear models. The algorithm is implemented as an R function. Some simpl

Abstract:

In this article we suggest a beta regression model that accounts for the degree of preference in paired comparisons measured on a bounded metric paired comparison scale. The beta distribution for bounded continuous random variables assumes values in the open unit interval (0,1). However, in practice we will observe paired comparison responses that lie within a fixed or arbitrary fixed interval [-a,a] with known value of a. We therefore transform the observed responses into the interval (0,1) and assume that these transformed responses are each a realization of a random variable which follows a

Abstract:

In a "publish-or-perish culture", the ranking of scientific journals plays a central role in assessing the performance in the current research environment. With a wide range of existing methods for deriving journal rankings, meta-rankings have gained popularity as a means of aggregating different information sources. In this paper, we propose a method to create a meta-ranking using heterogeneous journal rankings. Employing a parametric model for paired comparison data we estimate quality scores for 58 journals in the OR/MS/POM community, which together with a shrinkage procedure allows for the

Abstract:

This paper provides an alternative methodology for the analysis of a set of Likert responses measured on a common attitudinal scale when the primary focus of interest is on the relative importance of items in the set. The method makes fewer assumptions about the distribution of the responses than the more usual approaches such as comparisons of means, MANOVA or ordinal data methods. The approach transforms the Likert responses into paired comparison responses between the items. The complete multivariate pattern of responses thus produced can be analysed by an appropriately reformulated paired

The experts are asked for advice by one or more decision makers who face a specific real decision problem. The decision makers are outside the group of experts and are jointly responsible and accountable for the decision and committed to finding solutions that everyone can live

The purpose of this paper is to give a log-linear representation of a generalized Bradley-Terry (BT-) Model for paired comparisons which allows the incorporation of ties, order effects, concomitant variables for the objects and categorical subject specific covariates and interactions between all of them. An advantage of this approach is that standard software for fitting log-linear models, such as GLIM, can be used.

Forecasting the results of sport tournaments is a topic of considerable interest. This thesis focuses on statistical modelling of football matches.

Binary paired comparison data are binary data that record which of two objects being compared is preferred. Applications arise in many contexts including biology, acoustics, genetics, consumer behaviour and sports tournaments. Most of traditional models, such as the Bradley-Terry model, are based on unrealistic independence assumptions. However, in many instances it is sensible to believe that the results of two paired comparisons involving a common object will be correlated. This thesis focuses on the potential presence of dependence among paired comparison data. Two novel models, either m

Abstract:

Paired-comparison is a popular method for deriving scale values; scale values are numbers that represent observers' psychophysical responses to sets of physical stimuli. The method requires that each observer is presented with pairs of stimuli and is asked which of the pair is greater in terms of the psychophysical property being investigated (for example, which of the pair is lighter). However, it is time consuming (especially when the number of stimuli n is large) since there are n(n-l )/2 possible paired comparisons and all of these must be considered.

Exacerbations were associated with a decline in the gas transfer of the lung over time, but show no relationship to changes in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1). However, despite lung function decline, patients do not show a progressive loss in health status. Index
