These objects refer to results from football matches among four Scottish clubs: Rangers, Celtic, Livinston, Falkirk. A detailed analysis is presented in inst/home_advantage.Rmd, which creates the objects documented here from scratch.

  1. Object RCLF3_table is a table of results for the four clubs: home wins, draws, and away wins. RCLF3_lambda_max for the maximum likelihood estimate for \(\lambda\).

  2. Object RCLF3 is a hyper3 likelihood function for the table of won games only [that is, excluding draws], using RCLF3_lambda_max for the value of \(\lambda\).

  3. Object RCLF3_maxp is its evaluate at the MLE for lambda
