Model fitting

Fit goal-based models by maximum likelihood or in a Bayesian framework, and estimate team strengths with the Bradley-Terry-Davidson model.

`stan_foot()`	Fit football models using CmdStan
`mle_foot()`	Fit football models with Maximum Likelihood
`btd_foot()`	Bayesian Bradley-Terry-Davidson Model
`normal()` `student_t()` `cauchy()` `laplace()`	Football priors distributions and options

Plot the estimated team abilities and strengths.

`foot_abilities()`	Plot football abilities from Stan and MLE models
`plot_btdPosterior()`	Plot Posterior Distributions for btdFoot Objects
`plot_logStrength()`	Plot Rankings for btdFoot Objects

Posterior predictive checks, match probabilities and league table predictions.

`pp_foot()`	Posterior predictive checks for football models
`foot_prob()`	Plot football matches probabilities for out-of-sample football matches.
`foot_rank()`	Rank and points predictions
`foot_round_robin()`	Round-robin for football leagues

Compare the predictive performance of fitted models.
