"The book is written at the level of a research monograph and is best suited for senior undergraduate and graduate students. The procedures are often illustrated by applications to real data sets. ... the volume can very well serve as a textbook for courses on statistical methods for ranking data." (Lucia Santamaria, zbMATH 1341.62001, 2016) "This book is essentially a compilation of several research results contributed by the authors and their collaborators to the area of statistical analysis of ranking data. ... This book is suitable for researchers and analysts in various domains like web commerce, health analytics, and so on, where invariably there is lot of data for analysis and inference. The two facets presented in the book, nonparametric statistics and modeling, offer valuable tools for analysis and inference." (Laxminarayana Pillutla, Computing Reviews, May, 2015)
