Jun 29, 2016 at 9:33 comment added Erel Segal-Halevi @D.w. The original numbers are arbitrary.
Jun 27, 2016 at 18:03 comment added D.W. Do your original numbers (before the permutation) come from some random process, e.g., some particular distribution? Or are they arbitrary (i.e., they could be chosen by an adversary, and we want to know about worst-case performance for the worst possible set of numbers)? This will lead to different answers.

Jun 26, 2016 at 11:50 comment added Raphael My gut says that nothing can be done if you can not estimate ranks. For the first element you have no chance. Knowing some elements already, better estimates may possible.

Jun 24, 2016 at 17:09 comment added Evil Do you have distribution of data? The running time depends on more than just perfectly hitting the proper placement of elements.
Jun 24, 2016 at 16:45 comment added D.W. 1. Have you tried working through small cases ($n=2$, $n=3$, ...) to see what you can say for small values of $n$? 2. Should we assume the $n$ numbers are unique? If not, I suggest editing the question to define "correct location" more carefully.

Fix apparent typo in title.
