Log5 is a way to estimate the probability that Team A will win a game given the true winning probabilities of Team A and Team B
1 |
pA |
Probability that A wins |
pB |
Probability that B wins |
order |
0 = A over B and 1 = B over A |
Returns a value equal to (pA-pA*pB)/(pA+pB-2*pA*pB)

## Let's assume team B has a .40 true probability of winning
## We should get an output of 0.6923
log5(.60,.40)
## The function is currently defined as
function (pA, pB, order = 0)
{
if (order) {
aux = pB
pB = pA
pA = aux
}
log5 <- (pA - pA * pB)/(pA + pB - 2 * pA * pB)
return(log5)
