Description Usage Arguments Details Value Missing and non- values Ties Author(s) See Also

Gets the rank of each row (column) of a matrix.

1 2	rowRanks(x, ties.method=c("max", "average", "min"), ...) colRanks(x, ties.method=c("max", "average", "min"), preserveShape=FALSE, ...)

`x`	A `numeric` or `integer` NxK `matrix`.
`ties.method`	A `character` string specifying how ties are treated. For details, see below.
`preserveShape`	A `logical` specifying whether the `matrix` returned should preserve the input shape of `x`, or not.
`...`	Not used.

The row ranks of x are collected as rows of the result matrix.

The column ranks of x are collected as rows if preserveShape = FALSE, otherwise as columns.

The implementation is optimized for both speed and memory. To avoid coercing to doubles (and hence memory allocation), there is a unique implementation for integer matrices. It is more memory efficient to do colRanks(x, preserveShape=TRUE) than t(colRanks(x, preserveShape=FALSE)).

Currently, colRanks(x) is just rowRanks(t(x)). Any names of x are ignored and absent in the result.

An integer matrix is returned. The rowRanks() function always returns an NxK matrix, where N (K) is the number of rows (columns) whose ranks are calculated.

The colRanks() function returns an NxK matrix, if preserveShape = TRUE, otherwise a KxN matrix.

These are ranked as NA, as with na.last="keep" in the rank() function.

When some values are equal ("ties"), argument ties.method specifies what their ranks should be. If ties.method is "max", ties are ranked as the maximum value. If ties.method is "average", ties are ranked by their average. If ties.method is "max" ("min"), ties are ranked as the maximum (minimum) value. If ties.method is "average", ties are ranked by their average. For further details, see rank().
