Subject: Statistical Ranking Problem
Consider n items x_1, ... , x_n each assumed to have a scalar attribute,
worth(x_i), called its "intrinsic worth". Define rank(x_i) by sorting
these worths in decreasing order, for example, if
worth(x_1)=3 worth(x_2)=1 worth(x_3)=5
then
rank(x_3)=1 rank(x_1)=2 rank(x_2)=3.
Suppose that worth(x_i) are modelled as random variables with normal pdf's
with different means and identical variance.
PROBLEM. Given an ordered triple (i,j,k) with i,j,k in {1,2,...,n} compute
the probability P(rank(x_i)=1,rank(x_j)=2,rank(x_k)=3).
The problem extends to cases involving different variances and non-normal
pdf's. I am having a hard time cranking out a fast algorithm. Does anyone
know of state-of-the art software and/or references for computing fast and
accurately these probabilities? Thanks.
