The figure illustrates the percentile rank computation and shows how the 0.5 × F term in the formula ensures that the percentile rank reflects a percentage of scores less than the specified score. For example, for the 10 scores shown in the figure, 60% of them are below a score of 4 (five less than 4 and half of the two equal to 4) and 95% are ...
Microsoft Excel provides two ranking functions, the Rank.EQ function which assigns competition ranks ("1224") and the Rank.AVG function which assigns fractional ranks ("1 2.5 2.5 4"). The functions have the order argument, [1] which is by default is set to descending, i.e. the largest number will have a rank 1. This is generally uncommon for ...
Percentile scores and percentile ranks are often used in the reporting of test scores from norm-referenced tests, but, as just noted, they are not the same. For percentile ranks, a score is given and a percentage is computed. Percentile ranks are exclusive: if the percentile rank for a specified score is 90%, then 90% of the scores were lower.
The reason for the choice of the number 21.06 is to bring about the following result: If the scores are normally distributed (i.e. they follow the "bell-shaped curve") then the normal equivalent score is 99 if the percentile rank of the raw score is 99; the normal equivalent score is 50 if the percentile rank of the raw score is 50;
The QUARTILE function is a legacy function from Excel 2007 or earlier, giving the same output of the function QUARTILE.INC. In the function, array is the dataset of numbers that is being analyzed and quart is any of the following 5 values depending on which quartile is being calculated.
The USCF initially aimed for an average club player to have a rating of 1500 and Elo suggested scaling ratings so that a difference of 200 rating points in chess would mean that the stronger player has an expected score of approximately 0.75. A player's expected score is their probability of winning plus half their probability of drawing. Thus ...

For example, if a query returns two results with scores 1,1,1 and 1,1,1,1,1 respectively, both would be considered equally good, assuming ideal DCG is computed to rank 3 for the former and rank 5 for the latter. One way to take into account this limitation is to enforce a fixed set size for the result set and use minimum scores for the missing ...
