Class NaturalRanking

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.commons.math.stat.ranking.NaturalRanking

All Implemented Interfaces:
  RankingAlgorithm

    public class NaturalRanking

extends Object
implements RankingAlgorithm

Ranking based on the natural ordering on doubles.

NaNs are treated according to the configured `NaNStrategy` and ties are handled using the selected `TiesStrategy`. Configuration settings are supplied in optional constructor arguments. Defaults are `NaNStrategy.MAXIMAL` and `TiesStrategy.AVERAGE`, respectively. When using `TiesStrategy.RANDOM`, a `RandomGenerator` may be supplied as a constructor argument.

Examples:

Input data: (20, 17, 30, 42.3, 17, 50, Double.NaN, Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY, 17)
NaNStrategy | TiesStrategy | `rank(data)`
--- | --- | ---
default (NaNs maximal) | default (ties averaged) | (5, 3, 6, 7, 3, 8, 9, 1, 3)
default (NaNs maximal) | MINIMUM | (5, 2, 6, 7, 2, 8, 9, 1, 2)
MINIMAL | default (ties averaged) | (6, 4, 7, 8, 4, 9, 1.5, 1.5, 4)
REMOVED | SEQUENTIAL | (5, 2, 6, 7, 3, 8, 1, 4)
MINIMAL | MAXIMUM | (6, 5, 7, 8, 5, 9, 2, 2, 5)
