rank_summaries(data, format_input, mean_rank = TRUE, marginals = TRUE,
  pc = TRUE)

Arguments

data

Numeric NxK data matrix of partial sequences.

format_input

Character string indicating the format of the data input, namely "ordering" or "ranking".

mean_rank

Logical: whether the mean rank vector has to be computed. Default is TRUE.

marginals

Logical: whether the marginal rank distributions have to be computed. Default is TRUE.

pc

Logical: whether the paired comparison matrix has to be computed. Default is TRUE.

Value

A list of named objects:

nranked

Numeric vector of length N with the number of items ranked by each sample unit.

nranked_distr

Frequency distribution of the nranked vector.

na_or_not

Numeric 3xK matrix with the counts of sample units that ranked or not each item. The last row contains the total by column, corresponding to the sample size N.

mean_rank

Numeric vector of length K with the mean rank of each item.

marginals

Numeric KxK matrix of the marginal rank distributions: the (i,j)-th entry indicates the number of units that ranked item i in the j-th position.

pc

Numeric KxK paired comparison matrix: the (i,i')-th entry indicates the number of sample units that preferred item i to item i'.
