Cumulative Distribution Networks: Inference, Estimation and Applications of Graphical Models for Cumulative Distribution Functions
… for rank data, such as the Bradley-Terry and Plackett-Luce models, can be viewed as particular types of CDN. Applications of CDNs will be described for the problems of ranking players in multiplayer team-based games, document retrieval and discovering regulatory sequences in computational …

Distributed content collection and rank aggregation
… are modeled as rankings generated by a Plackett-Luce ranking model with Zipf popularity distribution. We establish a performance upper bound and use intuition provided by the bound to design recommendation strategies with a range of complexity. Among these, the direct recommendation rule …

Flavor effects on feed consumption and performance of dairy cattle in early lactation
… first was.59 and.36 respectively, according to a Plackett-Luce Model analysis (X$\sp2,$ P $$ control $>$ bitter $>$ salt $>$ sour (Trial 1) and control = MSG $>$ molasses $>$ dehydrated alfalfa $>$ anise (Trial 2). The preference for sucrose and its potential to enhance feed consumption in early …

Statistical inference in networks: fundamental limits and efficient algorithms
… are generated independently according to the Plackett-Luce model, we analyze computationally efficient estimators based on maximum likelihood and rank-breaking schemes that decompose partial rankings into pairwise comparisons. We provide upper and lower bounds on the estimation error. The …
