Suppose I have two columns, x,y. I can use order(x,y) to calculate a permutation that puts them into increasing order of x, with ties broken by y.
I'd like instead to calculate the rank of each pair under the same ordering, but the rank() function doesn't take multiple values as input. Is there a simple way to get what I want? E.g. > x <- c(1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) > y <- c(1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2) > rank(x+y/10) [1] 1 3 6 7 2 4 5 8 gives me the answer I want, but only because I know the range of y and the size of gaps in the x values. What do I do in general?
