SEE BELOW BUT SOMEONE SHOULD CHECK MY COMMENTS ABOUT THE 'BY' DATES TO
SEE IF I'VE WRITTEN THIS CORRECTLY,

Subject: [Babase] clarification of default ranking

I am updating ranker right now to fix some bugs and add some features.
I would appreciate some more clarification on the default ranking---in
particular, some definitions. Below is the default ranking rules Susan
suggested in an earlier message:

1. Adult males, in reverse age order (youngest to oldest) 2. Subadult
males, in age order (oldest to youngest) 3. Adult females, alpha 4. Juv
males, age order (oldest to youngest) 5. Juv females, age order (oldest
to youngest)

YES

Here are my interpretations---please correct me if I am wrong:

Adult females: According to rnktypes.query for ADF, these are females
with mature date (in maturedates) <= ranking date.

YES, THOSE WITH MATURE DATE IN MATUREDATES OR A MATUREBY DATE IN MATURE
BY DATES

Juv females: I assume they are females that are not adults???

YES

Adult males: According to rnktypes.query for ADM, these are males with
adult rank attainment date (in rankdates) <= ranking date.

YES

Juv males: I assume they are males with age <= 7???

THESE ARE MALES THAT HAVE NO MATUREDATE OR MATUREBY DATE AND ARE NOT
SUBADULTS OR ADULTS

Subadult males: I assume they are males that are neither adult males or
juv males???

THESE ARE MALES THAT HAVE A MATUREDATE OR MATURED BY DATE AND NO
RANKDATE

JEANNE


Thanks!
