getCourseCorrection: Get Course Correction Parameter

In sf585978/speedR: speedR: Estimating Speed Ratings in R

Description

This function estimates and returns the course correction parameter, gamma, for courses that are not the base course.

Usage

getCourseCorrection(results, alpha = 4.4, beta = 2355,
  lower_thresh = 0.7, upper_thresh = 1, race_dist = "8k",
  baseID = "mGeneseo15", baseIntercept = 1531.96,
  teams_to_drop = NULL)

Arguments

results	The results for the race you are speed rating
alpha	The number of seconds one speed rating point is equal to
beta	The number of seconds marking the zero point of the scale
lower_thresh	The quantile results must be greater than to contribute to calculating the course correction
upper_thresh	The quantile results must be less than to contribute to calculating the course correction
race_dist	The distance of the race being analyzed
baseID	The race ID for the base race
baseIntercept	The regression intercept for the base race

Value

gammaFit The best fit estimate for the course correction parameter, gamma.

Examples

getCourseCorrection(results = geneseo16, alpha = 4.4, beta = 2355, lower_thresh = 0.1, upper_thresh = 0.95, race_dist = "8k", baseID = "mGeneseo15", baseIntercept = 1527.197)
