On statistical properties of Chebyshev's norm

E. Stoimenova

Statistics & Probability Letters, 1996, vol. 29, issue 1, 89-93

Abstract: A measure of association between two rankings is proposed. This measure -- the maximum of the absolute values of the difference between the ranks -- is treated as a metric on the set of permutations. We calculate the mean and the variance of the metric under uniformity assumption. The limiting distribution is established.
