Object eurovision is a hyper2 object that gives a
likelihood function for the skills of the 18 competitor countries in
semi-final 1 of the 2009 Eurovision Song contest. Object
eurovision_table gives the original dataset and
eurovision_maxp the evaluate of the competitors' Plackett-Luce
strengths.
The motivation for choosing this particular dataset is that Pat Altham
(Statistical Laboratory, Cambridge) considered it with a view to
discover similarities between voters. In the current analysis, the
likelihood function eurovision assumes their independence.
These objects can be generated by running script
inst/eurovision.Rmd, which includes some further discussion and
technical documentation and creates file eurovision.rda which
resides in the data/ directory.
