Reversed Rankings — ranks • permimp

Method for giving the reversed rankings of the numerical values of a vector or VarImp object.

Usage

ranks(x, note = TRUE, ...)
# Default S3 method
ranks(x, note = TRUE, ...)
# S3 method for class 'VarImp'
ranks(x, note = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

x: an object to be reverse ranked.
note: a logical specifying whether the (reversed) rankings should be printed instead of the importance values.
...: additional arguments to be passed to rank.

Details

The ranks function is nothing more than (length(x) - rank(x, ...) + 1L). But it also works for objects of class VarImp.

Value

A vector containing the reversed rankings.

Examples

  ## High Jump data
  HighJumps <- c(Anna = 1.45, Betty = 1.53, Cara = 1.37, Debby = 1.61, 
                 Emma = 1.29, Hanna = 1.44, Juno = 1.71)
  HighJumps
#>  Anna Betty  Cara Debby  Emma Hanna  Juno 
#>  1.45  1.53  1.37  1.61  1.29  1.44  1.71 
  ## ranking of high jump data
  ranks(HighJumps)
#> Reversed ranking: 1 denotes the highest value. 
#>  
#>  Anna Betty  Cara Debby  Emma Hanna  Juno 
#>     4     3     6     2     7     5     1
