rSRD: Sum of Ranking Differences Statistical Test
We provide an implementation for Sum of Ranking Differences (SRD),
a novel statistical test introduced by Héberger (2010)
<doi:10.1016/j.trac.2009.09.009>. The test allows the comparison of
different solutions through a reference by first performing a rank
transformation on the input, then calculating and comparing the distances
between the solutions and the reference - the latter is measured in the
L1 norm. The reference can be an external benchmark (e.g. an established
gold standard) or can be aggregated from the data. The calculated distances,
called SRD scores, are validated in two ways, see Héberger and Kollár-Hunek
(2011) <doi:10.1002/cem.1320>. A randomization test (also called permutation
test) compares the SRD scores of the solutions to the SRD scores of randomly
generated rankings. The second validation option is cross-validation that
checks whether the rankings generated from the solutions come from the same
distribution or not. For a detailed analysis about the cross-validation
process see Sziklai, Baranyi and Héberger (2021)
<doi:10.48550/arXiv.2105.11939>. The package offers a wide array of
features related to SRD including the computation of the SRD scores,
validation options, input preprocessing and plotting tools.
