Brief description of the context of the research including potential impact Ranking is used frequently in modern society, whether that be in understanding the relative influence of different actors in a particular system, determining preferences in a commercial environment, or determining the outcome of tournaments, broadly understood. By exploring the principles underlying different approaches and developing methods consistent with those, these practices may be made more meaningful, more efficient and fairer. It is anticipated that the methodological work undertaken may have a wide span of potential areas of impact, but will have a principle focus on educational assessment. Aims and objectives The research will aim to elaborate the principles underlying appropriate ranking methods and to develop novel methods to achieve and assess them, particularly as applied in educational assessment. Novelty of research methodology The PhD will consist of original explications of the principles underlying ranking methods and the development of novel statistical methods to make this ranking more transparent and efficient. Research will be in the context of specific real world problems. Alignment to EPSRC strategyIn line with the Strategic Plan 2015, this research will contribute to 'developing our fundamental understanding of the world'. Given the wide scope of applicability it is hoped that there can be meaningful 'economic and social impact' based on this research.

对研究的背景的简要描述包括潜在影响排名在现代社会中经常使用，无论是在理解特定系统中不同参与者的相对影响，确定商业环境中的偏好还是确定锦标赛的结果，还是广泛理解的。通过探索不同方法的原理并开发与这些方法一致的方法，这些实践可能会变得更有意义，更高效，更公平。预计所进行的方法论工作可能具有广泛的潜在影响领域，但主要关注教育评估。 目的和目标该研究将旨在阐述适当排名方法的基础原则，并开发出实现和评估它们的新颖方法，尤其是在教育评估中应用的。 研究方法的新颖性博士将包括对排名方法基础原理的原始阐释以及新的统计方法的发展，以使该排名更加透明和有效。研究将是在特定的现实世界问题的背景下。与EPSRC Strategy的一致性与2015年战略计划有关，这项研究将有助于“发展我们对世界的基本理解”。鉴于适用性的广泛范围，希望基于这项研究可以产生有意义的“经济和社会影响”。
