1	fg_success_rate(fg_data_fname, out_fname, min_pid = 473957)

`fg_data_fname`	Filename of Armchair Analysis GAME table
`out_fname`	Filename of where to write output to
`min_pid`	Starting point in play-by-play data of which kicks to include. Defaults to start of 2011 season

Returns and writes results to a CSV.

NOTE: These are somewhat sparse and irregular at longer FG ranges. This is because kickers who attempt long FGs are not selected at random – they are either in situations which require a long FG attempt or are kickers with a known long range. The NYT model uses a logistic regression kicking model developed by Josh Katz to smooth out these rates.
