Re: st: RE: ranking!!

["Rajiv Mallick" <rmallick@hotmail.com>]

Hello Ben,

Thank you for your suggestion.

The bilateral relationship is more like "interaction" that you mentioned.  
So as a pair a - b would be > = < a - c.  From these sets of bilateral 
relationship, I have to obtain where a is the greatest compared to others in 
the group, and say e the next and so on.

How would you assign values?  Are you are suggesting that I assign values 1 
through 5 in this example.  In that case sum of all values for all bilateral 
pairs will be 15.  That would give all of the same ranking.  The purpose is 
to obtain a ranking among my original 6 members.

Regards,
Rajiv
