Abstract
In sport, order-statistics-based models such as Henery’s gamma model and the Thurstone-Mosteller type V model are useful in estimating competitor strengths from observed performance of players in competitions between 2 or more players. They can also be applied in many other areas, such as analysis of consumer preference data, which would be useful to marketing management. Two new families of such models derived from the exponentiated exponential and Pareto distributions are introduced. Use of order statistics-based models when there are more than 2 competitors has been hampered by lack of an efficient method of computation of outcome probabilities as a function of competitor strengths, and a fast method of computation of outcome probabilities is presented, that exploits the fact that the integral to be evaluated is an iterated integral.
