In the current implementation, it is possible to set the `nanStrategy` and `tiesStrategy` of `NaturalRanking` to `null`, even though they will inevitably throw NPEs upon any calls to `rank` or `resolveTie`. This commit modifies the constructor such that if `null` is given to either of the strategies, then they are set to the default strategies.

If the user-supplied parameter is null then this is an error. I think it may be preferable to throw a NPE here:
this.nanStrategy = Objects.requireNonNull(nanStrategy, "nanStrategy");
this.tiesStrategy = Objects.requireNonNull(tiesStrategy, "tiesStrategy");Note: This class has been ported to the Commons Statistics project and will be released in version 1.1.
See: https://github.com/apache/commons-statistics/blob/master/commons-statistics-ranking/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/statistics/ranking/NaturalRanking.java
I updated that implementation to throw NPE for user-supplied arguments. Thanks for the prompting.
You can test the current implementation using the apache snapshots repo using e.g.:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-statistics-ranking</artifactId>
<version>1.1-SNAPSHOT</version>

Sounds good. Let me modify the test case accordingly.
As suggested by @aherbert, replaces the default strategies with fail-fast `null` guards.
