getReplacementPlayers: getReplacementPlayers

In frogman141/openWAR: Machinery for analyzing baseball data and computing WAR

Description

This function determines and returns a list of players who are considered to be replacement level players.

Usage

getReplacementPlayers(data, nteams = 30, ...)

Arguments

data	An object of class 'RAA'

Details

In the openWAR framework, we first define a specific number of players to be considered 'true' major league talent. This function returns a list of players who do not appear on the list of 'true' major league talent. The performances of the players on this list are used to estimate the value of a replacement level player for use in converting runs above average into runs above replacement and ultimately wins above replacement.

Examples

ds = getData()
out = makeWAR(ds)
players = getWAR(out)
summary(out)
replacementIds = getReplacementPlayers(players)
