Convert rank tables to and from order tables

Convert rank tables (as generated by rrank(), for example) to order tables like the formula 1 tables; and convert back. Print and summary methods for rank tables are documented here. See also ordertable.Rd.

ranktable_to_ordertable(xrank)
ordertable_to_ranktable(xorder)
wikitable_to_ranktable(wikitable, strict=FALSE)
# S3 method for class 'ranktable'
summary(object, ...)
# S3 method for class 'ranktablesummary'
print(x,...)

Arguments

x,xrank,object: A rank table, an object with class ranktable, for example the value of rrank()
xorder,wikitable: Order tables. Argument wikitable refers to a generalized order table which can include entries such as DNF signifying did not finish.
strict: Controls for wikitable_to_ranktable()
...: Further arguments (currently ignored)

Details

Function ranktable_to_ordertable() is trivial; ordertable_to_ranktable() less so. The prototype for order tables would be skating_table.

Function ordertable_to_ranktable(x) checks for each column being a permutation of seq_len(nrow(x)) and, if not, it stops. In particular, DNF entries are out of scope. To convert order tables such as F1_table_2017, which include DNF entries, use wikitable_to_ranktable() or ordertable2supp() to produce a likelihood function.

Function ranktable_to_printable_object() is a helper function that coerces a ranktable object to a matrix that prints nicely.

File inst/ordertable_to_ranktable.Rmd discusses the ranktable print method and also sets out a common gotcha for interpretation of the internal structure of ranktable objects.

Value

An order table or rank table

p <- (5:1)/15
names(p) <- letters[1:5]
xrank <- rrank(12,p,rnames=month.abb)
