Ranking numbers in a table and manipulating by division.

3 views (last 30 days)
I am trying to manually calculate non-exceedance probabilities of each value x. How can I rank the values in this table from smallest to largest and then divide each value by the total number of values (in this case 10). So the highest value (2310) should have a rank of 10 and a non-exceedance probability of 1.
Table = readtable("practice3.xlsx");
x = Table.values
x = 10×1
450 1100 1060 700 350 80 2310 2000 370 50

Possibly this:
Table = readtable("practice3.xlsx");
[~,idx] = ismember(Table.values,sort(Table.values));
Table.ranks = idx;
Table.non_exceedance_prob = idx/size(Table,1)
Table = 10×3 table
values ranks non_exceedance_prob ______ _____ ___________________ 450 5 0.5 1100 8 0.8 1060 7 0.7 700 6 0.6 350 3 0.3 80 2 0.2 2310 10 1 2000 9 0.9 370 4 0.4 50 1 0.1

Thank you for showing me how to sort the data, I was using "ascend" "descend" and it wasn't exactly getting it exactly right.
