In ncaavolleyballr: Extract Data from NCAA Women's and Men's Volleyball Website

Aggregate player statistics for a NCAA conference and seasons

Description

This is a wrapper around group_stats() that extracts season, match, or pbp data from players in all teams in the chosen conference. For season stats, it aggregates all player data and team data into separate data frames and combines them into a list. For match and pbp stats, it aggregates into a data frame. Conferences names can be found in ncaa_conferences.

Usage

conference_stats(
  year = NULL,
  conf = NULL,
  level = NULL,
  sport = "WVB",
  save = FALSE,
  path = ".",
  delay = 2
)

Arguments

year	Numeric vector of years for fall of desired seasons.
conf	NCAA conference name.
level	Character string defining whether to aggregate "teamseason", "teammatch", "playermatch", or match play-by-play ("pbp") data.
sport	Three letter abbreviation for NCAA sport (must be upper case; for example "WVB" for women's volleyball and "MVB" for men's volleyball).
save	Logical for whether to save the statistics locally as CSVs (default FALSE).
path	Character string of path to save statistics files.
delay	Numeric for time delay between teams/contests in seconds.

Value

For season level, returns list with data frames of player statistics and team statistics. For match and pbp levels, returns data frame of player statistics and play-by-play information respectively.

Note

This function requires internet connectivity as it checks the NCAA website for information. It also uses the {chromote} package and requires Google Chrome to be installed.
