Usage
compute_division_ranks(
games,
teams = NULL,
tiebreaker_depth = 3,
.debug = FALSE,
h2h = NULL
)Arguments
- games
A data frame containing real or simulated game scores. The following variables are required:
- sim
A simulation ID. Normally 1 - n simulated seasons.
- game_type
One of 'REG', 'WC', 'DIV', 'CON', 'SB' indicating if a game was a regular season game or one of the playoff rounds.
- week
The week of the corresponding NFL season.
- away_team
Team abbreviation of the away team (please see
divisionsfor valid team abbreviations).- home_team
Team abbreviation of the home team (please see
divisionsfor valid team abbreviations).- result
Equals home score - away score.
- teams
This parameter is optional. If it is
NULLthe function will compute it internally, otherwise it has to be a data frame of all teams contained in thegamesdata frame repeated for each simulation ID (sim). The following variables are required:- sim
A simulation ID. Normally 1 - n simulated seasons.
- team
Team abbreviation of the team (please see
divisionsfor valid team abbreviations).- conf
Conference abbreviation of the team (please see
divisionsfor valid team abbreviations).- division
Division of the team (please see
divisionsfor valid division names).
- tiebreaker_depth
A single value equal to 1, 2, or 3. The default is 3. The value controls the depth of tiebreakers that shall be applied. The deepest currently implemented tiebreaker is strength of schedule. The following values are valid:
- tiebreaker_depth = 1
Break all ties with a coinflip. Fastest variant.
- tiebreaker_depth = 2
Apply head-to-head and division win percentage tiebreakers. Random if still tied.
- tiebreaker_depth = 3
Apply all tiebreakers through strength of schedule. Random if still tied.
- .debug
Either
TRUEorFALSE. Controls whether additional messages are printed to the console showing what the tie-breaking algorithms are currently performing.- h2h
A data frame that is used for head-to-head tiebreakers across the tie-breaking functions. It is computed by the function
compute_division_ranks.
Value
A list of two data frames:
- standings
Division standings.
- h2h
A data frame that is used for head-to-head tiebreakers across the tie-breaking functions.
