The Occupation dataset (d_occup) came up from a survey conducted on
graduates from the Technion-Insrael Institute of Tecnology. A sample of
\(N=143\) graduates were asked to rank \(K=10\) professions according to
the perceived prestige. The occupations are labeled as: 1 = faculty member,
2 = owner of a business, 3 = applied scientist, 4 = operations researcher, 5
= industrial engineer, 6 = manager, 7 = mechanical engineer, 8 = supervisor,
9 = technician and 10 = foreman. The dataset is composed of complete
orderings.

matrix of complete orderings with \(N=143\) rows and \(K=10\) columns.
Each row lists the professions from the most-liked (Rank_1) to the
least-liked (Rank_10) for a given graduate.
