Statistical ranking with dynamic covariates
带动态协变量的统计排序
Abstract We introduce a general covariate-assisted statistical ranking model within the Plackett–Luce framework. Unlike previous studies that focus on individual effects with fixed covariates, our model allows covariates to vary across comparisons. This added flexibility enhances model fitting but also brings significant challenges in analysis. This article addresses these challenges in the context of maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). We first provide necessary and…
