Class NaturalRanking

All Implemented Interfaces:
RankingAlgorithm

public class NaturalRanking extends Object implements RankingAlgorithm

Ranking based on the natural ordering on doubles.

NaNs are treated according to the configured NaNStrategy and ties are handled using the selected TiesStrategy. Configuration settings are supplied in optional constructor arguments. Defaults are NaNStrategy.FAILED and TiesStrategy.AVERAGE, respectively. When using TiesStrategy.RANDOM, a RandomGenerator may be supplied as a constructor argument.

Examples
Input data: (20, 17, 30, 42.3, 17, 50, Double.NaN, Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY, 17)
