decode_player_ids {nflfastR} | R Documentation |
Decode the player IDs in nflfastR play-by-play data
Description
Takes all columns ending with 'player_id'
as well as the
variables 'passer_id'
, 'rusher_id'
, 'fantasy_id'
,
'receiver_id'
, and 'id'
of an nflfastR play-by-play data set
and decodes the player IDs to the commonly known GSIS ID format 00-00xxxxx.
The function uses by default the high efficient decode_ids
of the package gsisdecoder
.
In the unlikely event that there is a problem with this function, an nflfastR
internal decoder can be used with the option fast = FALSE
.
The 2022 play by play data introduced new player IDs that can't be decoded with gsisdecoder. In that case, IDs are joined through nflreadr::load_players.
Usage
decode_player_ids(pbp, ..., fast = TRUE)
