BradleyTerry: Fit a Bradley-Terry model
In Selbosh/scrooge: Statistical modelling of heterogeneous citation networks

Description Usage Arguments Details Value References See Also Examples

Fits Bradley–Terry model, also known as a quasi-symmetry model, to paired comparison data via maximum (quasi) likelihood estimation.

1	BradleyTerry(C, family = stats::quasibinomial)

`C`	a square matrix of paired comparisons
`family`	a description of the error distribution and link function to be used. See `family`

This implementation avoids calling BradleyTerry2::BTm() and instead fits the glm directly. By default, the model is fitted by quasi-likelihood (allowing non-integer counts) with a logit link. To fit by maximum likelihood instead, set the family argument to binomial.
