Abstract
An illustration of this type of partially ranked data, with n = 5 and k = 3, is obtained by modifying the example of Section II.C: there are still five flavors of ice cream, but now each judge specifies only his first, second, and third choices. In this chapter, the six metrics of Section II.B are extended to metrics on this type of partially ranked data. Furthermore, the extensions preserve the necessary property of right-invariance, discussed in Section II.C.
