Ranking problems arise in setting priorities for investigations, in providing a simple summary of performance, in comparing objects in a manner robust to measurement scale, and in a wide variety of other applications. Commonly, rankings are computed from measurements that depend on the true attribute. Using the Gaussian model, we propose and compare methods for using these measurements to estimate the ranks of the underlying attributes and show that those based on an empirical Bayes model produce estimates that differ from ranking observed data. These differences result both from the effect of shrinking posterior means towards a common value by an amount that depends on the precision of individual measurements and from the Bayes processing of the posterior distribution to produce estimates that account for the uncertainty in the distribution of the ranks. We illustrate different ranking methods using data on school achievement reported by Aitkin and Longford (1986) . Mathematical and empirical results highlight the importance of using appropriate ranking methods and identify issues requiring further research.

Abstract Background: Migraine and depression are highly prevalent and partly overlapping disorders that cause strong limitations in daily life. Patients tend to respond poorly to the therapies available for these diseases. OnabotulinumtoxinA has been proven to be an effective treatment for both migraine and depression. While many studies have addressed the effect of onabotulinumtoxinA in migraine or depression separately, a growing body of evidences suggest benecial effects also for patients comorbid with migraine and depression. The current meta-analysis systematically investigates to what extent onabotulinumtoxinA is efficient in migraineurs with depression.Methods: A systematic literature search was performed based on PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science from the earliest date till October 30th, 2020. Mean, standard deviation (SD) and sample size have been used to evaluate improvement in depressive symptoms and migraine using random-effects empirical Bayes model. Results: Our search retrieved 259 studies, eight of which met inclusion criteria. OnabotulinumtoxinA injections administered to patients with both chronic migraine and major depressive disorder led to mean reduction of -8.94 points (CI: [-10.04, -7.84], p < 0:01) in the BDI scale, of -5.90 points (CI: [-9.92, -1.88], p < 0:01) in the BDI-II scale and of -6.19 points (CI: [-9.52, -2.86], p < 0:01) in the PHQ-9 scale, when evaluating depressive symptoms. In the case of the migraine-related symptoms, we found mean reductions of -4.10 (CI: [-7.31, -0.89], p = 0.01) points in the HIT6 scale, -32.05 (CI: [-55.96, -8.14], p = 0.01) in the MIDAS scale, -1.7 (CI: [-3.27, -0.13], p = 0.03) points in the VAS scale and of -6.27 (CI: [-8.48, -4.07], p < 0:01) migraine episodes per month. Comorbid patients showed slightly better improvements in BDI, HIT6 scores and migraine frequency compared to monomorbid patients. The latter group manifested better results in MIDAS and VAS scores. Conclusion: Treatment with onabotulinumtoxinA leads to a signicant reduction of disease severity of both chronic migraine and major depressive disorder in patients comorbid with both diseases. Comparative analyses suggest an equivalent strong effect in monomorbid and comorbid patients, with benecial effects specically seen for certain migraine features.
