1. Introduction

This folder contains the code to reproduce the numerical results (Figures 4, 5, 6 and data for 7) reported in:

``Active Ranking from Pairwise Comparisons and When Parametric Assumptions Don't Help'', by Reinhard Heckel, Nihar B. Shah, Kannan Ramchandran, and Martin J. Wainwright

An introduction and exposition of the algorithm is given in the jupyter notebook:

active_ranking_introduction.ipynb

2. Requirements

The code is written in Python 3, running requires installations of Python, Make, and Pdflatex.

3. Quick start

Run:

• make fig4 to generate Figure 4 (this will run the code to generate the data for Figure 5, store the data in the ./fig folder, and generate the file ./tex/fig4.pdf containing the figure.)
• make fig5 to generate Figure 5
• make fig6 to generate Figure 6
