Interpreting the Phase Spectrum in Fourier Analysis of Partial Ranking Data

Figure 4

Two examples illustrating linear-phase approximation for full ranking data. Lexicographic ordering is used for permutations on the horizontal axes of both graphs. Note that the data in (a) has domain , while (b) has domain .
