collegeballR
is a package written for R focusing on college sports analysis. Currently functions accquire data from various sources. Note if you are trying to get baseball data, I would look at Bill Petti’s baseballr
pkg.
This is not on CRAN, you can install it from github.
# from github:
# devtools::install_github("meysubb/collegeballR")
This package should be functional for all sports except for Football. The next update should have full functionality for Football as well.
There are three main functions that provide data of interest:
(1) team_stats = Overall team stats (either per season or per game)
(2) player_stats = All player stats (either per season or per game)
(3) team_schedule = Team Schedule/Result/Site/Record
For all other functions navigate to the refrence page found online. (add link later)
These are functions/sports that are currently available. I just have some higher hopes for the family of functions, there.
(1) College Football Functionality.
(2) Play by Play data - For CFB only right now.
I’m looking to add functionality. What you can expect:
(1) Attendance (per game/season avg)
(2) Weekly Rankings
(3) Recruiting Details
(4) EPA Work for CFB PBP
If you’d like to suggest anything (can be sport specific or general), create a github issue. Or tweet at me [@msubbaiah1](https://twitter.com/msubbaiah1).
