DealwT: Treatment of ties

Description

Calls a set of FORTRAN subroutines to deal with tied scores.

Usage

DealwT(n, x, y, indr="spearman", ties = "woodbury", sizer = 1000000,
	repl= 1000, print = TRUE)

Arguments

n

number of ranks.

x

a numeric vector.

y

a numeric vector with compatible dimensions to x.

indr

rank order association coefficient. Possible options are: 1="spearman", 2="kendall", 3="gini", 4="r4".

ties

method for breaking ties. Possible options are: 1="woodbury", 2="gh", 3="wgh", 4= "midrank", 5="dubois", 6="no ties".

sizer

number of replications for resolving ties by randomization. Default $10^6$.

repl

number of sampled pairs of permutations needed to apply the weighted max-min method. Default $10^3$.

print

FALSE suppresses some of the output.
