calculate_probs

Given a table with simulations in the rows and coalitions in the columns,
this function returns the coalition probabilities for a specified coalition,
by default excluding superior coalitions first

An implementation of a Bayesian framework for the opinion poll
based estimation of event probabilities in multi-party electoral systems
(Bender and Bauer (2018) <doi:10.21105/joss.00606>).

calculate_probs function

<dl><dt>majority_df</dt>
<dd>A data frame containing logical values indicating
if the coalitions (columns) have a majority (rows).</dd>
<dt>coalitions</dt>
<dd>A list of coalitions for which coalition probabilities should
be calculated. Each list entry must be a vector of party names. Those names
need to correspond to the names in <code>majority_df</code>.</dd>
<dt>exclude_superior</dt>
<dd>Logical. If <code>TRUE</code>, superior coalitions will
be excluded, otherwise total coalition probabilities will be returned.
Usually it makes sense to exclude superior coalitions.</dd>
