Table 9.17 refers to journal citations among four statistical theory and methods journals (Biometrika, Communications in Statistics, Journal of the American Statistical Association, Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series B) during 1987-1989. The more often that articles in a particular journal are cited, the more prestige that journal accrues. For citations involving a pair of journals X and Y, view it as a "victory" for X if it is cited by Y and a "defeat" for X if it cites Y. Fit the Bradley-Terry model. Interpret the fit, and give a prestige ranking of the journals. For citations involving Comm. Stat. and JRSS-B, estimate the probability that the Comm. Stat. article cites the JRSS-B article.
