make_lineup_helper_2: Assign overpowered entries

In SwimmeR: Data Import, Cleaning, and Conversions for Swimming Results

Assign overpowered entries

Description

Matches athletes into events again, this time vs. the output of make_lineup_helper. For example if Team A has six breaststrokers at 57.00, 58.00, 59.00 and three 1:00.00s and Team B has three breaststrokers, all 1:01.00 then following make_lineup_helper Team A's entries will be the three 1:00.00s because they're sufficient to win.

Usage

make_lineup_helper_2(
  i,
  df_helper,
  in_progress_entries_df,
  events_competed_helper = Events_Competed,
  max_entries_helper = max_entries,
  max_ind_entries_helper = max_ind_entries
)

Arguments

i	a sequential list of numbers incremented by 1. Used to index function.
df_helper	a data frame of all times to be entered for a given team. Must contain column Event with the same event naming convention as op_df, a column with name matching result_col containing times or diving scores, and a column called Name containing athlete names
in_progress_entries_df	a data frame containing the output of make_lineup_helper, which is the minimum power set of entries
events_competed_helper	a list of lists containing all the events a given athlete is competing in. Sub-lists are named with the athlete name.
max_entries_helper	a numeric value denoting the maximum number of athletes a team may enter in a given event
max_ind_entries_helper	a numeric value denoting the maximum number of individual events that may be entered by a single athlete

Details

Here though Team A's three 1:00.00s will be replaced by their 57.00, 58.00 and 59.00 breaststrokers. These entries are "overpowered" but better reflect an actual set of entries. Not using make_lineup_helper_2 often results in a team's best athletes not competing

Value

a data frame containing entries updated to be as powerful as possible
