The sex of each judge is also included.

Usage

darEsSalaam

Format

A list with three elements.

comparisons

A dataframe containing the comparisons. Each row corresponds to a judgement made by a single judge. This differs from the data in the BBT package as it explicitly includes ties rather than randomly allocating a winner. The columns are:

outcome

The outcome of the comparison. 1 if item 2 is the winner, 0 if item 1 is the winner, and 2 if it was a tie (although there are no instances of this happening).

item1

The first item in the comparison.

item2

The second item in the comparison.

sex

The sex of the judge making the comparison.

wards

A dataframe containing the names and shapefiles of the subwards with columns:

subwardName

The name of the subward.

geometry

A list containing the shapefile of the subward.

adjacencyMatrix

An adjacency matrix of the subwards formed from the shapefiles.This considers subwards as nodes and places edges between adjacent subwards. Two additional edges have been manually included to allow for crossings of the Kurasini creek.
