	Rank-Ordering of Alternatives (RANK)
		Strict preference: all ranked alternatives are supposed to have different values, and relations between alternatives having the same rank are disregarded in the calculation of the overall preference relation across the alternatives.
		For each final "dominance" relational structure resulting from one analysis, the rank differences and the minimum/maximum population proportions specified by the user are printed, followed by the list of successive non-dominated cores (identified by their sequential number) with the alternatives belonging to them.
		The variables correspond to ranks (the first variable in the list has the first rank, the second one the second rank, etc.), while their value is the code number of the alternative selected.

	Relevance Ranking and Sorting of Result Sets
		In order to fiddle with the static rank order, it is necessary to invoke additional re-ranking/re-ordering using dynamic ranking or score functions.
		Ranking weights may be used to pass a value to a ranking algorithm, using the non-standard BIB-1 attribute type 9.
		Ranking does not need to use specific indexes, so dynamic ranking can be enabled and disabled without re-indexing; whereas, sorting indexes need to be defined before indexing.

	Ranking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ranking is the process of positioning items such as individuals, groups or businesses on an ordinal scale in relation to others.
		Ranking is a technique commonly used in non-parametric statistics.
		A common short-hand way to distinguish these ranking strategies is by the ranking numbers that would be produced for four items, with the first item ranked ahead of the second and third (which compare equal) which are both ranked ahead of the fourth.

	IFA Services: Statistics, Rank Correlation coefficient (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Rank Correlation test is a distribution free test that determines whether there is a monotonic relation between two variables (x, y).
		Although the Rank Correlation coefficient can be interpreted as indicating the "strength" of the monotonic association, quantifying this strength is so complex that for all practical purposes this is a non-parametric test.
		The level of significance is determined by checking all permutations of ranks in the sample and counting the fraction for which the Rs' is more extreme than the Rs found.

		Another example might be to rank four goods in terms of their likely elasticity of demand.
		The problem with the "ranking" questions is that a person who very correctly understands the relative order of three of the answers but is very unsure on the fourth can easily get zero or one correct.
		The ranking questions also inflate the importance of knowing the extremes; whether that's a good thing or not is up to you.

	ROL
		Ranking programs on the NRMP Rank Order List is a commitment to training at that program if a match results.
		In most instances, the issue is not the actual number of programs being ranked on the Rank Order List, but the dilemma of whether to add one or more additional programs to the list in order to reduce the likelihood of being unmatched.
		Applicants are advised to rank all of the programs deemed acceptable to the applicant, i.e., a program where they would be happy to undertake residency training.
