In elishayer/mRchmadness: Numerical Tools for Filling Out an NCAA Basketball Tournament Bracket

Simulate the full bracket starting with an empty bracket

Description

Simulate the full bracket starting with an empty bracket

Usage

sim.bracket.matrix(
  prob.matrix,
  league,
  num.reps,
  outcome,
  round,
  teams.remaining,
  untangling.indices
)

Arguments

prob.matrix	a matrix of probabilities, with rows and columns corresponding to teams, matching the output of bradley.terry()
league	which league: "men" (default) or "women"
num.reps	number of simulations to perform
outcome	passed in from sim.bracket()
round	passed in from sim.bracket()
teams.remaining	passed in from sim.bracket()
untangling.indices	passed in from sim.bracket()

Value

a 63-by-num.reps matrix storing the simulation outcome, each column encoding the outcome for a single simulation in the following order: seeds 1 through 32 after round 1, seeds 1 through 16 after round 2, seeds 1 through 8 after round 3, seeds 1 through 4 after round 4, seeds 1 and 2 after round 5, and finally seed 1 after round 6 (the champion)
