Dear Sirs,
I'm using cor() funcion with Spearman method to analyse correlation of 
timeseries. As you know Spearman method is based on ranks of timeseries, 
instead of their value. 

Well, what I'm not able to do is to extract the ranks of the timeseries used 
from cor() to compute the Spearman correlation coefficient (also called rho). 

For instance if I have this two timeseries
> a = c(-0.10, -0.21, -0.35, -0.38, -0.19)
> b = c(-0.53, -0.42, -0.59, -0.55, -0.35)

I obtain rho in this way
> cor(a,b, method="spearman")
>[1] 0.6

but how can I obtain ranks for the two timeseries? Of course, the same computed 
and used by previous cor().

Best,

Marco
