  A paired comparison analysis is the simplest way to make comparative
judgments between objects where objects may be goods, services or skills. For a
set of problems, this technique helps to choose the most important problem to
solve first and/or provides the solution that will be the most effective. This
paper presents the theory of paired comparisons method and contributes to the
paired comparisons models by developing a new model based on t-distribution.
The developed model is illustrated using a data set of citations among four
famous journals of Statistics. Using Bayesian analysis, the journals are ranked
as JRSS-B --> Biometrika --> JASA --> Comm. in Stats.
