Ranking based on the natural ordering on doubles.

NaNs are treated according to the configured NaNStrategy and ties are handled using the selected TiesStrategy. Configuration settings are supplied in optional constructor arguments. Defaults are NaNStrategy.FAILED and TiesStrategy.AVERAGE, respectively. When using TiesStrategy.RANDOM, a RandomGenerator may be supplied as a constructor argument.

Examples:

Input data: (20, 17, 30, 42.3, 17, 50, Double.NaN, Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY, 17)
NaNStrategyTiesStrategy rank(data)
default (NaNs maximal) default (ties averaged) (5, 3, 6, 7, 3, 8, 9, 1, 3)
default (NaNs maximal) MINIMUM (5, 2, 6, 7, 2, 8, 9, 1, 2)
MINIMAL default (ties averaged) (6, 4, 7, 8, 4, 9, 1.5, 1.5, 4)
REMOVED SEQUENTIAL (5, 2, 6, 7, 3, 8, 1, 4)
MINIMAL MAXIMUM (6, 5, 7, 8, 5, 9, 2, 2, 5)
