PAMA (version 1.2.0)

PAMA.PL: This function implements Bayesian inference of PAMA model with partial lists.

Description

This function implements Bayesian inference of PAMA model with partial lists.

Usage

PAMA.PL(datfile, PLdatfile, nRe, iter = 1000, init = "EMM")

Arguments

datfile

A matrix or dataframe. This is the data where our algorithm will work on. Each colomn denotes a ranker's ranking. The data should be in entity-based format.

PLdatfile

A matrix or dataframe. It contains all the partial lists. Each colomn denotes a partial list.

nRe

A number. Number of relevant entities.

iter

A number. Numner of iterations of MCMC. Defaulted as 1000.

init

A string. This indicates which method is used to initiate the starting point of the aggregated ranking list. "mean" uses the sample mean. "EMM" uses the method from R package 'ExtMallows'.

Value

List. It contains Bayesian posterior samples of all the parameters and log-likelihood.

1. I.mat: posterior samples of I

2. phi.mat: posterior samples of phi

3. smlgamma.mat: posterior samples of gamma

4. l.mat: posterior samples of log-likelihood.

Details

The partial lists are handle by Data Augmentation strategy.
