grr, editing my bookdown doc in rstudio. after every edit, the embedded console decides that i have a new backlog of 3-50 warnings, even though the doc was not recompiled (and even if it had been, what does that have to do with my console?)
@UweBlock It probably has, but it's hard to find because of many very similar Qs. Can you edit the title of that one so we can find it easier next time?
@Axeman yeah, they have to throw out the cardinal info in the data and just work with the ranks if that's what they want. in education research, there's a strong inclination towards that sort of thing ("but i know the true population is normal! lemme inverse cdf the ranks/length")
