Overview

About

Maintained by Seo-young Silvia KimCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Provides a design-based toolkit for survey ranking questions. Estimates average ranks, marginal rank probabilities, pairwise comparisons, and ranking distributions, with optional bias correction for random responding via anchor-ranking items or user-supplied random-response rates. Includes Plackett-Luce simulation, visualization, format conversion, and diagnostic checks. Methods are described in Atsusaka and Kim (2025) doi:10.1017/pan.2024.33.

Changes in 0.2.0

First CRAN submission. The package was previously available on GitHub under version 0.1.0.
The bundled identity and identity_w datasets now use item names for the marginal-rank columns: party, religion, gender, race (previously app_identity_1--app_identity_4) and household, neighborhood, city, state (previously anc_identity_1--anc_identity_4). Examples and vignettes now pass these columns explicitly, e.g. main_q = c("party", "religion", "gender", "race").
New exported function rank_wider() for converting long-format ranking data to wide format (one column per item or a single pasted ranking string).

imprr_direct(): anc_correct is now optional. Users can instead supply p_random directly, or rely on anchor-based estimation of the non-random response rate.
New exported convenience wrapper add_ipw_weights() for returning the original data augmented with respondent-level IPW weights, with an option to also keep ranking summaries.
imprr_direct_rcpp(): correctly delegates to imprr_direct() when method = "fixed", forwarding all population and assumption inputs.
rpluce(): when all remaining Plackett-Luce weights become zero after earlier draws, the remaining items are now sampled uniformly at random rather than being ordered by input position.
rank_longer(): stricter validation on the reference argument and clearer handling of single- vs multi-column input.
Stronger input validation across the package: weights must be finite, non-negative, and sum to a positive number; J must be finite; permutation labels are parsed consistently across compact, delimited, and fixed-width formats (including J > 9).
Permutation-label infrastructure rewritten to support rankings of arbitrary size.
Documentation: switched to \href{}{} for external URLs; expanded examples and \value{} sections.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("rankingQ", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("sysilviakim/rankingQ")

Development version from sysilviakim/rankingQ. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-rankingq

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-rankingQ

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-rankingQ

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
