do_EPS: Efficient Points Scored (EPS)

In BAwiR: Analysis of Basketball Data

Efficient Points Scored (EPS)

Description

A limitation of do_OE is that it doesn't rely on the quantity of the player's offense production, that's to say, whether the player provides a lot of offense or not. In addition, it does not give credit for free-throws. An extension of do_OE has been defined: the Efficient Points Scored (EPS), which is the result of the product of OE and points scored. Points scored counts free-throws, two-point and three-point field goals. A factor F is also added to put the adjusted total points on a points scored scale. With the factor F, the sum of the EPS scores for all players in a given season is equal to the sum of the league total points scored in that season.

Usage

do_EPS(df)
