lgmm: Learn a Generalized Mallows Model

In PerMallows: Permutations and Mallows Distributions

Learn a Generalized Mallows Model

Description

Learn the parameter of the distribution of a sample of n permutations comming from a Generalized Mallows Model (GMM).

Usage

lgmm(
  data,
  sigma_0_ini = identity.permutation(dim(data)[2]),
  dist.name = "kendall",
  estimation = "approx"
)

Arguments

data	the matrix with the permutations to estimate
sigma_0_ini	optional the initial guess for the consensus permutation
dist.name	optional name of the distance used by the GMM. One of: kendall (default), cayley, hamming
estimation	optional select the approximated or the exact. One of: approx, exact

Value

A list with the parameters of the estimated distribution: the mode and the dispersion parameter vector
