A ranking is a relationship between a set of items such that, for any two items, the first is either 'ranked higher than', 'ranked lower than' or 'ranked equal to' the second. In mathematics, this is known as a weak order or total preorder of objects. It is not necessarily a total order of objects because two different objects can have the same ranking. The rankings themselves are totally ordered. For example, materials are totally preordered by hardness, while degrees of hardness are totally ordered.

By reducing detailed measures to a sequence of ordinal numbers, rankings make it possible to evaluate complex information according to certain criteria. Thus, for example, an Internet search engine may rank the pages it finds according to an estimation of their relevance, making it possible for the user quickly to select the pages they are likely to want to see.

Analysis of data obtained by ranking commonly requires non-parametric statistics.

what rank does the Philippines hold in the air pollution ranking system?
Q. what rank does the Philippines hold in the air pollution ranking system?
Asked by Rish Gidz - Tue Mar 11 12:26:41 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Very low. Air pollution is brought about by chemicals and other radio-active stuff normally associated with industries that are mostly prevalent in highly industrialized countries like the USA, China, and others in Europe. In the absence of such factories/plants, the Philippines is not listed among those with worst pollution.

What is the right statistic to use to estimate variance in rank orders?
Q. I want to display the results of a rank order survey question, and identify items for which there was significant disagreement (i.e. some people ranking an item high and some ranking it low). Do I just take the standard deviation of the weighted scores, or should I do something else?
Asked by ljsweeny - Wed Nov 28 00:04:18 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. If I understand what you are trying to do you have one question and want to see if there was a significant disagreement between groups of people, i.e., some responded to this question negatively and some responded to this question positivity. If you have any demographic data I would use this is stratify the data and then look for the factors that might influence the response. This would be done using multiple regression methods and mapping the demographic variables to dummy variables and the response to the questions as well. There are some catches to this, but for the most part it works well. this this isn't what you are looking for you might want to look at factor plots and main effects plots. email me if you want to discuss this… [cont.]
