Details

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.
