Performs Cross Entropy Monte Carlo simulations for generating combined ranked list using CEMC, taking into account the different spaces of ranked input lists.

input |
A list of several |
space |
A list of the same structure as the input list. Contains underlying spaces for the top-k lists. NULL means all lists share a common space, which is taken to be the union of all input lists |
k |
Desired length of combined list |
dm |
Distance measure, "s" for Spearman, "k" for Kendall (p=0) |
kp |
Partial distance used in Kendall's tau distance measure |
N |
Number of samples generated in each iterate |
N1 |
Number of samples retained after each iterate |
rho |
Proportion of samples used to estimate a new probability matrix |
e1 |
Stopping criterion with respect to the l1-norm of the difference of the two probability matrices between the current and previous iterations |
e2 |
Stopping criterion with respect to the difference in the obtimizing criterion (e.g. the generalized Kemeny guideline) between the current and the previous iterations |
w |
Weight of the new probability vector for the next iterate |
b |
Parameter used in blur function - this is for finding starting values for the algorithem |
init.m |
Initialization method, see the function |
init.w |
Probability matrix initialization. (See Details) |
d.w |
Weights for distances from different input lists |
input.par |
Input parameters in a data.frame |
extra |
Number of additional items to be included in the combined ranked list during the calculation |
The algorithm implemented is the Order Explicit Algorithm, which is an iterative procedure to maximize an objective function (either based on Kendall's distance (dm="k") or Spearman's distance (dm="s")).
init.w: probability matrix initialization: (1-init.w) * uniform + init.w * estimated from input lists
A list containing three components:
TopK |
A vector giving the aggregate ranked list. |
ProbMatrix |
A matrix, with each column represent the probability vector of a multinomial distribution and thus sum to 1. |
input.par |
A vector containing tuning parameters used in the current run. User may edit this vector and use it as input for a more refined analysis. |
