Abstract: | This paper develops diagnostic measures to identify those observations in Thurstonian models for ranking data which unduly
influence parameter estimates that are obtained by the partition maximum likelihood approach of Chan and Bentler (1998). Diagnostic
measures are constructed by employing the local influence approach that uses geometric techniques to assess the effect of
small perturbations on a postulated statistical model. Very little additional effort is required to compute the proposed diagnostic
measures, because all of the necessary building blocks are readily available after a usual fit of the model.
