Hi Jun,
I have been messing around with Ranker just a little bit today. I
really like the changes that you have made and I think the window is
much easier to use. I love the scroll bars, and having the option of
looking at the matrix, or the stats, or both in the same window! Also,
the option of being able to increase or decrease the font size is a
great way to address the problem of fitting large matrices in the
window! A nice surprise was being able to load the rankings as they
stand in babase, and having them to look at and compare if ranks already
exist for a given month. I also came across some potential problems and
quirks.
First, I created a matrix with rank dates 12-01-2005 to 12-31-2005
as the basis and with 01-01-2006 to 01-31-2006 as the interaction matrix
dates for ALM ranks for grp 1.10. The actual ranks for this grp for Dec
05 do not match the initial output in ranker. I made a table here
<https://papio.biology.duke.edu/babasewiki/RankerDiffs#preview> on the
wiki so that you can see the difference. The order produced by Ranker
doesn't seem to resemble at all the ranks for Dec 05.
Also, the same ranking produced the list of individuals who had been
present in December, not those present in January. NET for example, was
in 1.10 in Dec 2005, but was not as of Jan 2006, and thus, should not
show up in the matrix, (Right?).
Lastly, I really like the new header at the top of the window which
displays the group and date of the matrix, but I think it is important
to distinguish that while the ranking is based on DEC 05 Ranks, that
interactions are from Jan 06. Right now the header for the interactions
taking place in Jan 06 Reads "Nyayo's ALM on 2005-12-01".
If you have any questions about any of these let me know.
thanks again Jun!
