In this article we introduce the idea of the "Rational Research" model which reflects search behaviour of a "rational" researcher in a scientific research environment, and propose the RareRank algorithm for ranking entities in semantic search systems, in particular, we focus on elaborating the rationale and implementation of the algorithm.
None of the algorithms above are foolproof in preventing gaming or optimally ranking entities.
In the meantime, ranking entities could improve transparency by recognizing or even requiring disclosure of corporate engagement in climate policy.
This would enable ranking entities to give their audiences ‒ consumers, investors, employees and companies themselves ‒ a more complete picture of a company's sustainability performance.
There are more rankings today than 10 years ago, and schools are devoting considerable time and resources to meet the demands of ranking entities (Businessweek, Economist, Financial Times, Forbes, and US News & World Report).
This ranked list was queried for the highest-ranking entity with putative transcription factor annotation.
Following the ranking of entities by descending MM score within each cluster, this list was queried for the highest-ranking entity with putative transcription factor annotation.
The new report, The Blind Spot in Corporate Sustainability Rankings: Climate Policy Leadership, recommends that as a starting point, rankings entities ask companies questions drawn from the U.N. Global Compact Guide for Responsible Corporate Engagement in Climate Policy.
By ordering values in w, these tools require users to select a number of top-ranking entities as input and mostly use hypergeometric distribution (or equivalently Fisher's exact test) to obtain the term P-values.
Some approaches (Al-Shahrour et al., 2007; Blom et al., 2007; Breitling et al., 2004; Eden et al., 2009) in this group apply hypergeometric tests to all possible selections of top-ranking entities.
Demand for increasing transparency in the ranking algorithms will force sites to think of clever new ways to rank entities while being transparent to users, fair to things being ranked and simultaneously hard to game.
