Transitivity in Inhomogeneous Random Tournaments
Sayak Chatterjee, Bhaswar B. Bhattacharya · 2026-06-01 · via math updates on arXiv.org

Paired-comparison data are naturally represented by tournaments, where transitivity corresponds to the existence of a global ranking consistent with all pairwise outcomes. Accordingly, the classical Kendall-Smith coefficient of consistency measures deviations from transitivity in a tournament by counting the number of circular triads (directed $3$-cycles). In this paper, we characterize the fluctuations of the number of circular triads in inhomogeneous random tournaments and develop an inferential framework for the consistency coefficient. Specifically, we consider the $W$-random tournament model, where the comparison probabilities are determined by a tournamenton $W$, the analogue of a graphon in the tournament setting. We show that, for a $W$-random tournament on $n$ vertices, the number of circular triads exhibits three different fluctuation regimes, determined by suitable notions of regularity and uniformity of $W$. We further develop a novel tournamenton multiplier bootstrap that consistently approximates the limiting distribution of the circular-triad count in the relevant asymptotic regime. Combining this with procedures for testing regularity and uniformity, we design an algorithm for constructing confidence intervals for the consistency coefficient that is asymptotically valid for all tournamentons. We also obtain structural characterizations of tournamentons for which the limiting distribution of the number of circular triads exhibits specific degeneracies. These results can also be viewed through the lens of tournament quasirandomness and may be of independent interest.
