In PLMIX: Bayesian Analysis of Finite Mixtures of Plackett-Luce Models for Partial Rankings/Orderings

Description

The German Sample dataset (d_german) is part of a comparative cross-sectional study on political actions and mass participation involving five Western countries. The dataset regards a sample of N=2262 German respondents who were asked to rank K=4 political goals in order of desirability, namely: 1 = maintaining order in the nation, 2 = giving people more say in the decisions of government, 3 = fighting rising prices and 4 = protecting freedom of speech. The dataset is composed of complete orderings.
