Permutation Probabilities as Models for Horse Races
Summary
Some properties of models for the outcomes of races are described, these properties being consequences of a stochastic ordering of the permutations which define the outcomes of a race. Order statistics models which lead to stochastic ordering are also discussed—particular cases of these are the first‐order model of Plackett (1975) and the normal model of Upton and Brook (1974). An approximation for the normal model is suggested.
