calculate_player_stats_def: Get Official Game Stats on Defense

In mrcaseb/nflfastR: Functions to Efficiently Access NFL Play by Play Data

Get Official Game Stats on Defense

Description

This function was deprecated because we have a new, much better and harmonized approach in calculate_stats().

Build columns that aggregate official defense stats either at the game level or at the level of the entire data frame passed.

Usage

calculate_player_stats_def(pbp, weekly = FALSE)

Arguments

pbp	A Data frame of NFL play-by-play data typically loaded with load_pbp() or build_nflfastR_pbp(). If the data doesn't include the variable qb_epa, the function add_qb_epa() will be called to add it.
weekly	If TRUE, returns week-by-week stats, otherwise, stats for the entire Data frame.

Value

A data frame of defensive player stats. See dictionary (# TODO)

  dplyr::glimpse(weekly)

  overall <- calculate_player_stats_def(pbp, weekly = FALSE)
  dplyr::glimpse(overall)
