Exported Functions

BallroomSkatingSystem.skating_single_dance — Function
skating_single_dance(results)
skating_single_dance(results, majority_from; [initial_place, initial_column, depth])

Calculates a skating tableau and placement for judgment results of a single dance contained in the DataFrame results. It must contain the starter numbers of the dancers as a first column named :Numbers, and the places assigned by the different judges in the following columns, for example as in

DataFrame(Number = [11, 12, 13, 14, 15],
        JudgeA = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
        JudgeB = [1, 3, 2, 4, 5],
        JudgeC = [1, 3, 2, 5, 4],
        JudgeD = [5, 1, 2, 3, 4],
        JudgeE = [2, 1, 5, 3, 4])

Returns a DataFrame with the skating tableau represented as strings, as well as a DataFrame with the starter numbers and places.

For calculations on cropped tables, the majority of votes, the initial placement to fill, the initial column in the tableau where skating should start as well as the desired depth of the calculation can be defined by keyword arguments.

BallroomSkatingSystem.skating_combined — Function
skating_combined(dances, results_single_dances)

Calculates the final placement of competitors in a dancing competition based on the skating rules. dances is a vector of strings, containing the names of the dances. results_single_dances is a vector of DataFrames, containing the results for the individual dances. See skating_single_dance for the correct input format.

Outputs a DataFrame with the accumulated skating tableau as strings, a vector containing tableaus containing the application of Rule 10 and Rule 11, the skating results for the individual dances as well as a DataFrame with the starter numbers and final places.
