Lima noted that the union clashed with Terrazas when he led the internal investigation operation, which some firefighters claimed treated rank-and-file members more harshly than command officers.
In a preliminary analysis, we computed simple correlations for each participant between rank and friend properties (treating rank as continuous).
This generalizes the work of Julg and Valette, who treated the rank one case.
For this analysis, we treated the rank as a metric variable.
YoCream, maker of frozen treats (rank 91), trades a mere 14,000.
Walter Reed has treated all ranks, from Ensigns to Colonels, Lieutenants to Majors, Sergeants, Generals and Captains.
The three items pertaining to knowledge about suicide were treated as ranked variables (ranging from 1 to 5); comparisons of results for these three items between different groups of subjects and correlation of the item scores with other continuous variables used rank tests (Mann–Whitney U, the Kruskal-Wallis test, and Spearman correlation coefficients).
The residential measurements of Cs were ranked into five groups of nearly equal size (PROC RANK), with each rank treated as an indicator variable, facilitating assessing an exposure-response relationship.
There was also some missing data, particularly for questions asking respondents to rank the top five causes of death in patients they treat and rank the top five resources that would most help them treat critically ill patients.
In order to calculate Borda scores, we assumed that it is possible to treat the rank scores as cardinal data [ 35].
By treating each rank as an ordinal value from 0 ('cellular organisms', effectively unclassified) to 7 (species), we can compute averages over all predictions made on a given dataset.
