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

calculate_probs(majority_df, coalitions, exclude_superior = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

majority_df

A data frame containing logical values indicating if the coalitions (columns) have a majority (rows).

coalitions

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 majority_df.

exclude_superior

Logical. If TRUE, superior coalitions will be excluded, otherwise total coalition probabilities will be returned. Usually it makes sense to exclude superior coalitions.

#> coalition probability #> 1 cdu 10 #> 2 cdu_fdp 10 #> 3 cdu_fdp_greens 20
