Rank aggregation

Summarizes ordered lists.

Function aggregateRanks() deals with aggregation of ordered lists or rank matrix. It features robust methods for dealing with noisy input data.

Rank aggregation methods included:
- minimum
- mean
- geometric mean
- median
- Stuart (Stuart et al., Aerts et al.)
- Robust rank aggregation (Kolde et al.)
