Bayesian Analysis of Formula One Race Results

DOI

Repository containing code, data & presentation accompanying the manuscript Bayesian Analysis of Formula One Race Results: Disentangling Driver Skill and Constructor Advantage.

Note: version v1.0 used Beta regression via the brms package rather than the current cmdstanr rank-ordered logit implementation. The model_comparison folder compares the old and the current implementation.

The scripts contain the following:

Script Contents
01_prep_data.R Data preparation, data joining from database f1db_csv
02_eda.R Some visualisation and exploratory data analysis
03_model.R Creating and estimating models with different predictors
04_compare.R Performing model comparison
05_check.R MCMC validation, posterior predictive checks
06_infer.R Inferences using posteriors of parameters
07_predict.R Counterfactual predictions

Data f1db_csv obtained from Ergast developer API on 2022-02-17 uploaded with permission. All data objects (.rds and .csv files) are CC BY 4.0 licensed. Code is MIT licensed.
