✦ Synopsis

The realized (observed) value of Landau's dominance hierarchy index is examined. Under a model of constant pairwise dominance probabilities, the observed index is shown to be a strongly consistent estimator of the underlying (true) index. However, a large number of encounters between animals is shown to be required in order to reduce bias and variance to practical levels except when the pairwise dominance probabilities are near one.
