I was looking at rank() and I came across: ... "first" = sort.list(sort.list(xx)), ...
line 32 of rank.r [1] sort.list(x) returns the indices of the values of x in ascending (by default) order. So sort.list(sort.list(x)) returns the same list. So, what am I missing here? -Tyler [1] view-source:http://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/src/library/base/R/rank.R [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
