[R] Aligned Rank transformation

[Horacio Claudio Morales Torres]

Hi everyone:

I would like to know if there is a way of applying this kind of
transformation in R (i mean aligned ranks).

I read that this was a good
way of analyzing interactions in data with outliers and a not normal
distribution. The rank transformation is useful analyzing principal
effects, but not interactions... that is when aligned rank
transformation enters.

I am a newby in statistics and a newby in R, so I will really appreciate
your good advice and guide. Have a nice day.

Claudio
