Abstract
Given two partial rankings π and σ , both of the same type, we might ask whether the two rankings are “significantly” correlated. That is, do the two rankings show more agreement than one might ex pect, under the assumption that they were generated, independently, from a uniform distribution on all possible partial rankings?
