Re: [R] rank in descending order?

I believe you want 6 4 4 4 2 1, which is length(a) + 1 - r, as well as rank(-a). -- Brian D.

Re: [R] rank in descending order?
Try this: r <- sort(rank(a, ties.method="average"), decreasing=T) Jose Quesada wrote: Hi, Is there any simple solution to get ranks in descending order?
