In machine learning, a ranking SVM is a variant of the support vector machine algorithm, which is used to solve certain ranking problems (via learning to rank).The ranking SVM algorithm was published by Thorsten Joachims in 2002. [1]
For example, if the numerical data 3.4, 5.1, 2.6, 7.3 are observed, the ranks of these data items would be 2, 3, 1 and 4 respectively. As another example, the ordinal data hot, cold, warm would be replaced by 3, 1, 2. In these examples, the ranks are assigned to values in ascending order, although descending ranks can also be used.
The Kruskal–Wallis test by ranks, Kruskal–Wallis test (named after William Kruskal and W. Allen Wallis), or one-way ANOVA on ranks is a non-parametric statistical test for testing whether samples originate from the same distribution. [1] [2] [3] It is used for comparing two or more independent samples of equal or different sample sizes.
The Spearman's rank correlation can then be computed, based on the count matrix , using linear algebra operations (Algorithm 2 [18]). Note that for discrete random variables, no discretization procedure is necessary. This method is applicable to stationary streaming data as well as large data sets.
In the case of column 2, they represent ranks iii and iv. So we assign the two tied rank iii entries the average of rank iii and rank iv ((4.67 + 5.67)/2 = 5.17). And so we arrive at the following set of normalized values:
The Friedman test is a non-parametric statistical test developed by Milton Friedman. [1] [2] [3] Similar to the parametric repeated measures ANOVA, it is used to detect differences in treatments across multiple test attempts.
Learning to rank [1] or machine-learned ranking (MLR) is the application of machine learning, typically supervised, semi-supervised or reinforcement learning, in the construction of ranking models for information retrieval systems. [2] Training data may, for example, consist of lists of items with some partial order specified between items in ...
Conover and Iman provided a review of the four main types of rank transformations (RT). [1] One method replaces each original data value by its rank (from 1 for the smallest to N for the largest). This rank-based procedure has been recommended as being robust to non-normal errors, resistant to outliers, and highly efficient for many distributions.
