In this paper, we provide a simple forward-looking approach to compare rating methods with respect their stability over time. Given vector of entities involved in the comparison and ranking indicated by rating, is measured change ranks time from perspective. We investigate various linear algebraic use Euclidean distance Kendall tau rank correlation measure ranking, respectively. The investigati...
