The rank analysis of triple comparisons

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

General extensions of the probability model for paired comparisons, which was developed by R. A. Bradley and M. E. Terry, are considered. Four generalizations to triple comparisons are discussed. One of these models is used to develop methods of analysis of data obtained from the ranks of items compared in groups of size three.
