Rank Tables by cols

This software computes the rank or the rank/n (n = column size) of each column table. The software is compatible with NA (missing values).

Manual :

1- Install GNU parallel. install Julia free programming language and install packages :

DataFrames : Pkg.add("DataFrames")

StatsBase : Pkg.add("StatsBase")

ArgParse : Pkg.add("ArgParse")

2- unzip the software

3- copy your tables files in the “data” directory.

- txt or csv files with TAB separator

- first line : column names

- first column : row names

- next columns : values with dot as decimal separator.

4- execute the software by the command : perl rank_table-0.1.pl or perl nrank_table-0.1.pl

5- the results are in the results directory.

know issues : NA processing in nrank works only with floats. If the columns containing NAs has only integers a type error will occur. To solve the problem, just had ".0" to a number, for example replace 1 by 1.0.
