An R package to compare ranked lists of stuff.

From within R, use:

# install.packages("devtools") # If not installed yet
devtools::install_github("TCP-Lab/compare_ranks")

This package does not have many functions, however, they are all documented and include usage examples. Check ??<function> to learn more. In short:

• window_compare_rank: Compare the order of the items in two vectors using a rolling window;
• continuous_congruency: Compute the contiguous congruency metric of two vectors.
• plot_continuous_congruency: Create a ggplot2 of the results of one or more continuous congruency comparisons
• compare_two_way_ranks: Compare all ranks in a list taken two at a time
• score_comparisons: Score all two-way comparisons (e.g. created by compare_two_way_ranks)
• test_comparisons: Use a non-parametric, permutation-based approach to compute a p-value of the difference in ordering between two vectors a and b, with null hypothesis that the vectors are of different order.
