rankdata
(a, method='average')¶ Assign ranks to data, dealing with ties appropriately.
Ranks begin at 1. The
method
argument controls how ranks are assigned to equal values. See [R16] for further discussion of ranking methods.Parameters: a : array_like
The array of values to be ranked. The array is first flattened.
method : str, optional
The method used to assign ranks to tied elements. The options are ‘average’, ‘min’, ‘max’, ‘dense’ and ‘ordinal’.
- ‘average’:
The average of the ranks that would have been assigned to all the tied values is assigned to each value.
- ‘min’:
The minimum of the ranks that would have been assigned to all the tied values is assigned to each value. (This is also referred to as “competition” ranking.)
- ‘max’:
The maximum of the ranks that would have been assigned to all the tied values is assigned to each value.
- ‘dense’:
Like ‘min’, but the rank of the next highest element is assigned the rank immediately after those assigned to the tied elements.
- ‘ordinal’:
All values are given a distinct rank, corresponding to the order that the values occur in
a
.
The default is ‘average’.
Returns: ranks : ndarray
An array of length equal to the size of
a
, containing rank scores.References
