Get matrix of similarity rank from similarity matrix

Description

Given a lower triangular similarity matrix, construct a distance matrix where the rows are the ranks of the column cases with respect to similarity to the row case. If relative similarity is of interest, this rank-transformation may reduce bias in favour of high similarity scores in downstream analysis.

Usage

get_similarity_rank_matrix(similarity_matrix, symmetric = TRUE)

Arguments

`similarity_matrix`	Lower triangular numeric matrix of similarities, where the rownames and colnames are identical to the case IDs.
`symmetric`	Logical value determining whether to ‘symmetrify’ resultant matrix by averaging rank similarity of A -> B and B -> A.
