[R] thurston case 5

[japomani]

Hi, I hope some one can help. I need to compute Thurston's case 5 on a large
set of data. I have gotten as far as computing the proportional preference
matrix but the next math is beyond me.

Here us my matrix

0.500	0.472	0.486	0.587	0.366	0.483	0.496	0.434
0.528	0.500	0.708	0.578	0.633	0.554	0.395	0.620
0.514	0.292	0.500	0.370	0.557	0.580	0.615	0.329
0.413	0.422	0.630	0.500	0.783	0.641	0.731	0.663
0.634	0.367	0.443	0.217	0.500	0.351	0.907	0.686
0.517	0.446	0.420	0.359	0.649	0.500	0.325	0.559
0.504	0.605	0.385	0.269	0.093	0.675	0.500	0.625
0.566	0.380	0.671	0.337	0.314	0.441	0.375	0.500

Can someone help me write an R script to compute the Thurston Case 5 values?
The result should be the scale values for each item.

I found three web pages that might be useful in this, but again, I didn't
know enough to translate them into a result.
