About

We provide an implementation for Sum of Ranking Differences (SRD), a novel statistical test introduced by Héberger (2010) doi:10.1016/j.trac.2009.09.009. The test allows the comparison of different solutions through a reference by first performing a rank transformation on the input, then calculating and comparing the distances between the solutions and the reference - the latter is measured in the L1 norm. The reference can be an external benchmark (e.g. an established gold standard) or can be aggregated from the data. The calculated distances, called SRD scores, are validated in two ways, see Héberger and Kollár-Hunek (2011) doi:10.1002/cem.1320. A randomization test (also called permutation test) compares the SRD scores of the solutions to the SRD scores of randomly generated rankings. The second validation option is cross-validation that checks whether the rankings generated from the solutions come from the same distribution or not. For a detailed analysis about the cross-validation process see Sziklai, Baranyi and Héberger (2021) doi:10.48550/arXiv.2105.11939. The package offers a wide array of features related to SRD including the computation of the SRD scores, validation options, input preprocessing and plotting tools.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("rSRD", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-rsrd

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-rSRD

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-rSRD

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
