I'm sure this is a simple task, but how to do it has escaped me. I have imported data from two separate files (each file contains the results from an information retrieval algorithm) organized into a list. They are organized by File,Query, and Rank (in that order):
[[1]] Doc Query Rank 5 1 1 9 1 2 7 1 3 5 2 1 7 2 2 9 2 3 [[2]] Doc Query Rank 4 1 1 5 1 2 9 1 3 8 2 1 5 2 2 7 2 3 I need to rearrange the data so that it is sorted by Query and Document, with columns for rank1 and rank2 (from files 1 and 2, respectively). For example: [[1]] Doc Query Rank1 Rank1 4 1 NA 1 5 1 1 2 7 1 3 NA 9 1 2 3 5 2 1 2 7 2 2 3 8 2 NA 1 9 2 3 NA My goal is to perform a Spearman/Kendall test to check the correlation between the rankings. Any help would be appreciated.
