NHL R Vignette

This vignette will explain briefly the functionality of the four functions in the nhlR package. The four functions are the Outcome function, the YearlyRankings function, the GoalLocations function, and the DailySchedule Function

Daily Schedule function

This function creates a table of the games that were played on a given date, formatted as YYYY/MM/DD.

Example:

DailySchedule("2018/11/12", API_KEY)

Once you obtain Game IDs from above, you can view the outcome in a clear table as well as Goal Locations using the functions described below

Outcome Function

This function is designed to generate a table of results for a specific game. Example:

Outcome(game_id, API_KEY)

Goal Locations Function

This function generates a map of the locations of where players were when goals occured. Scrolling over a plot point also allows the user to see information about the description of the goal

Example:

GoalLocations(game_id, API_KEY)
