label_statcast_imputed_data: Label Statcast data as imputed

Description

Based on a series of heuristics, this function attempts to label Statcast data for which the launch angle and speed have been imputed.

Usage

label_statcast_imputed_data(
  statcast_df,
  impute_file = NULL,
  inverse_precision = 10000
)

Value

A copy of the input dataframe with a new column imputed appended. imputed is 1 if launch angle and launch speed are likely imputed, 0 otherwise. Returns a tibble with the following columns:

Arguments

statcast_df

A dataframe containing Statcast batted ball data

impute_file

A CSV file giving the launch angle, launch speed, bb_type, events fields to label as imputed. if NULL then it's read from the extdata folder of the package.

inverse_precision

inverse of how many digits to truncate the launch angle and speed to for comparison. Default is 10000, i.e. keep 4 digits of precision.

Examples

# \donttest{
  try({
    statcast_df <- statcast_search("2017-05-01", "2017-05-02")
    sc_df <- label_statcast_imputed_data(statcast_df)
    mean(sc_df$imputed)
  })
# }
