/**
 * Strategies for handling NaN values in rank transformations.
 * 
 * MINIMAL - NaNs are treated as minimal in the ordering, equivalent to
 * (that is, tied with) Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY.
 * MAXIMAL - NaNs are treated as maximal in the ordering, equivalent to
 * Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY
 * REMOVED - NaNs are removed before the rank transform is applied
 * FIXED - NaNs are left "in place," that is the rank transformation is
 * applied to the other elements in the input array, but the NaN elements
 * are returned unchanged.
 * FAILED - If any NaN is encountered in the input array, an appropriate
 * exception is thrown
 *

 * @since 2.0
