Abstract: The importance of models for complete ranking data is well-established in the literature. Partial rankings, on the other hand, arise naturally when the set of objects to be ranked is relatively large. Partial rankings give rise to classes of compatible order preserving complete rankings. In this article, we define an exponential model for complete rankings and calibrate it on the basis of a random sample of partial rankings data. We appeal to the EM algorithm. The approach is illustrated in some simulations and in real data.
