<h3 class="section">11.4 Computing the rank</h3>

<p>The <dfn>rank</dfn> of an element is its order in the sorted data.  The rank
is the inverse of the index permutation, <var>p</var>.  It can be computed
using the following algorithm,

<pre class="example">     for (i = 0; i &lt; p-&gt;size; i++)
     {
         size_t pi = p-&gt;data[i];
         rank-&gt;data[pi] = i;
     }
</pre>
   <p class="noindent">This can be computed directly from the function
<code>gsl_permutation_inverse(rank,p)</code>.

   <p>The following function will print the rank of each element of the vector
<var>v</var>,

<pre class="example">     void
     print_rank (gsl_vector * v)
     {
       size_t i;
       size_t n = v-&gt;size;
       gsl_permutation * perm = gsl_permutation_alloc(n);
       gsl_permutation * rank = gsl_permutation_alloc(n);
     
       gsl_sort_vector_index (perm, v);
       gsl_permutation_inverse (rank, perm);
     
       for (i = 0; i &lt; n; i++)
        {
         double vi = gsl_vector_get(v, i);
         printf ("element = %d, value = %g, rank = %d\n",
                  i, vi, rank-&gt;data[i]);
        }
     
       gsl_permutation_free (perm);
       gsl_permutation_free (rank);
     }
</pre>
