We also work out the ranks for each time by including a row which simply numbers from $1$ to $\\var{n}$, this we call the index of the numbers and the last row then takes equal values in the list and gives the averages of their indices, so that they all get the same rank. So you simply add up their corresponding indices in that group and divide by the number of equal entries. So if a number is not repeated then its rank is its index.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>For this example we have:</p>\n<p>{table([s1,s2,s3],[])}</p>\n<p>We see that there are ties as follows:</p>\n<p>{table(ties,[])}</p>\n<p>We use this information later to find the correction factor.</p>\n<p>Putting these ranks back into the original table gives, where $R_1,\\;R_2$ and $R_3$ are the sums of the ranks in each row:</p>\n<table border=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr><th align=\"left\">Group A (0 units)</th>\n<td>$\\var{r1[0]}$</td>\n<td>$\\var{r1[1]}$</td>\n<td>$\\var{r1[2]}$</td>\n<td>$\\var{r1[3]}$</td>\n<td>$\\var{r1[4]}$</td>\n<td>$\\var{r1[5]}$</td>\n<td>&nbsp;</td>\n</tr>\n<tr><th align=\"left\">Rank</th>\n<td>{rkt[0]}</td>\n<td>{rkt[1]}</td>\n<td>{rkt[2]}</td>\n<td>{rkt[3]}</td>\n<td>{rkt[4]}</td>\n<td>{rkt[5]}</td>\n<td>$R_1=\\;${sr[0]}</td>\n</tr>\n<tr><th align=\"left\">Group B (2 units)</th>\n<td>$\\var{r2[0]}$</td>\n<td>$\\var{r2[1]}$</td>\n<td>$\\var{r2[2]}$</td>\n<td>$\\var{r2[3]}$</td>\n<td>$\\var{r2[4]}$</td>\n<td>$\\var{r2[5]}$</td>\n<td>&nbsp;</td>\n</tr>\n<tr><th align=\"left\">Rank</th>\n<td>{rkt[6]}</td>\n<td>{rkt[7]}</td>\n<td>{rkt[8]}</td>\n<td>{rkt[9]}</td>\n<td>{rkt[10]}</td>\n<td>{rkt[11]}</td>\n<td>$R_2=\\;${sr[1]}</td>\n</tr>\n<tr><th align=\"left\">Group C (4 units)</th>\n<td>$\\var{r3[0]}$</td>\n<td>$\\var{r3[1]}$</td>\n<td>$\\var{r3[2]}$</td>\n<td>$\\var{r3[3]}$</td>\n<td>$\\var{r3[4]}$</td>\n<td>$\\var{r3[5]}$</td>\n<td>&nbsp;</td>\n</tr>\n<tr><th align=\"left\">Rank</th>\n<td>{rkt[12]}</td>\n<td>{rkt[13]}</td>\n<td>{rkt[14]}</td>\n<td>{rkt[15]}</td>\n<td>{rkt[16]}</td>\n<td>{rkt[17]}</td>\n<td>$R_3=\\;${sr[2]}</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p>We now have enough information to start the calculation of the Kruskal-Wallis statistic.</p>\n<p>We do this in three steps:</p>\n<p>1.
