MATLAB: Tiedrank in descending order

ranktiedrank

Is there any way to use tiedrank in descending order? I need to rank the highest value as the smallest one in rank. Is it possible to do this using tiedrank or another built-in-function? Thank you~~

Hi Ekin,
You can the reverse the order of ranking programmatically as follows:
 %Store the result of tiredrank function in "a"
a = tiedrank([10 20 30 40 20]);
%Find the largest rank value of "a", increment it by 1 and subtract "a" by
%this value.
ranks_desc = (max(a)+1) - a;
This will just reverse the ranking received by "tiedrank" function.
