How to calculate rank from multiple parameters ?
Parameters are bandwidth, delay, success ratio, these parameters values are used to determine the trustworthiness of a peer while accessing a service from a peer?. My aim is to get the best peer, by using any ranking method ... which method can I use?
Do you have data with rankings? If yes, you can build a linear regression model that predicts the score/rank given the 4 features. The feature weights will be learned from the training set. A positive weight will suggest that the feature adds positively to the rank (e.g bandwidth); a negative weight will suggest that increasing feature value will decrease the rank (e.g. delay).
You can use LIBSVM to fit a linear regression model or any other package for this task.
