	abstract =	{We discuss a strategy for polychotomous classification
	that involves estimating class probabilities for each pair of classes,
	and then coupling the estimates together. The coupling model is similar
	to the Bradley-Terry method for paired comparisons. We study the nature
	of the class probability estimates that arise, and examine the
	performance of the procedure in real and simulated datasets.
	Classifiers used include linear discriminants, nearest neighbours, and
	the support vector machine.},
