Hello! ? ?I need to use Kruskal-Wallis test and post-hoc test (Dunn's test) for my data. But when I searched around, I only found this function: kruskal.test.

I can use for loops but it seems long and unnecessary since the rank function actually knows the ties. So can anyone give me a hint on how I can "count" the number of ties?
If you just need the overall number of ties in a vector (say x), you can get it by nTies = length(x) - length(unique(x)) This will not work if missing data are present, so you will have to remove those first. HTH, Peter
