Model-based clustering for multivariate partial ranking data

Participants : Christophe Biernacki, Julien Jacques.

The first model-based clustering algorithm dedicated to multivariate partial ranking data is now published in an internation journal [19] . This is an extension of the (ISR) model for ranking data published in 2013. The proposed algorithm has allowed to exhibit regional alliances between European countries in the Eurovision contest, which are often suspected but never proved.
