In many real life situations respondents are asked to rank order a set of items based on their preferences. This can happen in selection interviews where a set of candidates have to be rank ordered (say, from best to worst) regarding their suitability for a job or position or in boardroom discussions where different alternative investment proposals have to be ranked based on their risk-reward profiles. In many market research studies respondents are asked to rank order a set of items with respect to their possibility of buying them. Thus rank data occur quite commonly in our daily life.

Abstract


In many real life situations respondents are asked to rank order a set of items based on their preferences. This can happen in selection interviews where a set of candidates have to be rank ordered (say, from best to worst) regarding their suitability for a job or position or in boardroom discussions where different alternative investment proposals have to be ranked based on their risk-reward profiles. In many market research studies respondents are asked to rank order a set of items with respect to their possibility of buying them. Thus rank data occur quite commonly in our daily life.
