21 * Strategies for handling NaN values in rank transformations.

23 * <li>MINIMAL - NaNs are treated as minimal in the ordering, equivalent to
24 * (that is, tied with) <code>Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY</code>.</li>
25 * <li>MAXIMAL - NaNs are treated as maximal in the ordering, equivalent to
26 * <code>Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY</code></li>
27 * <li>REMOVED - NaNs are removed before the rank transform is applied</li>
28 * <li>FIXED - NaNs are left "in place," that is the rank transformation is

30 * are returned unchanged.</li>
