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. From Wikipedia under the

How do you get a national ranking and high score? Thank You In Advance! Asked by Michael - Fri Feb 5 01:01:28 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Grades; and by that I mean your university grades. Other things that play a part is how well you do in your military science coarse, and how well you do during FTX's. If your peers and training officers at your ROTC are impressed by you, and you have a high GPA then you're higher up on the list at your school, the rest is essentially resume candy. Test scores, like the ASTB also play a huge role Answered by loadedtomcat - Fri Feb 5 06:22:37 2010 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Ranking"
