cfb4th 0.2.0
- First CRAN release.
- Model loading now mirrors
nfl4th. The expected-points and field-goal
models ship with the package (the field-goal model refreshed to the copy on
cfbfastR-data), so nothing is downloaded when the package is attached. The
two xgboost models (fourth-down conversion and win probability), 17 MB
together, are no longer bundled: each is downloaded from the package's
model_archive GitHub release the first time it is needed and cached under
tools::R_user_dir("cfb4th", "cache"); the new cfb4th_clear_cache() forces
a fresh download. The installed package shrinks from 17 MB to about 2 MB, and
a failed download is one informative error instead of a failure inside a
model call.
get_4th_plays() requests the ESPN game summary over HTTPS.
cfb4th 0.1.2
- Tidy-select and data-masking fixes to reduce notes/warnings/errors for checks
- Load
{cfbfastR} models in the same way that the package does (from URL)
cfb4th 0.1.1
- Re-categorized some plays as unknown (i.e.,
NA) go: Penalties and Timeouts
- Fixed bug with 4th down plays inside own 10 not simulating failed go for it plays correctly
- Fixed bug with some plays having negative timeouts remaining, creating strange results
- Improved timeout detection in
get_4th_plays() and renamed some columns to better match cfbfastR
- Implemented 2-pt conversion handling. The model no longer assumes a touchdown is worth 7 points
