Comparing and Aggregating Rankings with Ties

Summary: Proposes principled metrics for comparing partial rankings with ties, gives efficient algorithms to compute them, and proves constant-factor relationships among the metrics. Formulates aggregation objectives and presents a database-access-aware algorithm that reads near-minimal entries to compute top-k of a near-optimal aggregate.
