nhlscraper 0.6.0

• Documentation website now features more guided examples and explanation articles.
• replays() is now added to retrieve season-aggregate replays.
• contracts() now returns more contracts, dating back to the 90’s (and then some).
• shift_chart() (and consequentially, shift_charts()) now returns completed shift charts for all games where at least either one of API or HTML report is available.
• gc_play_by_play() and wsc_play_by_play() now return new schema.
  • HTML-report-derived on-ice goalie/skater ID columns are now added, limited to faceoff, hit, shot-on-goal, giveaway, missed-shot, blocked-shot, goal, delayed-penalty, takeaway, and failed-shot-attempt, while situationCode-derived strength/count columns remain available wherever situationCode itself is available. Check out our “Article” section on the documentation website to learn more.
  • Helpers now consistently expect the current public schema instead of silently backfilling the package’s older alias names.
  • add_shift_times() is now added to populate scalar on-ice shift time elapsed columns via C.
  • add_deltas() now handles event-to-event deltas in C, returns raw and normalized X/Y deltas alongside distance and angle deltas, and properly handles same-second events and shootouts/penalty shots with 1/n estimation.
  • calculate_speed() is now defunct; use add_deltas() instead.
• gc_play_by_play_raw() and wsc_play_by_play_raw() now returns raw play-by-play data; note that there are heavy inconsistencies in this uncleaned data as audited.
• calculate_expected_goals() now uses a fixed six-partition ridge xG model.
  • The scorer now mirrors the training-time preprocessing with delta, biometric, previous-event, and shift-timing context where available, while keeping runtime dependencies minimal.
  • The scorer now expects the current public play-by-play schema directly and no longer backfills legacy xG alias columns such as typeDescKey, period, SOGFor, SOGAgainst, and SOGDifferential.
  • ig_game_shot_locations(), x_game_shot_locations(), ig_game_cumulative_expected_goals(), and x_game_cumulative_expected_goals() still accept model for backward compatibility, but it is now ignored.
  • Check out our “Article” section on the documentation website to learn more.

nhlscraper 0.5.0

• All return IDs, codes, and names are now standardized (i.e., no more arbitrary id columns and inconsistent column names across functions).
• contracts() is now added to get all NHL contracts since the 2011-2012 season.
• ig_game_shot_locations() and x_game_shot_locations() now use continuous xG scale instead of bins.
• calculate_expected_goals() now combines the previous xG calculation functions; as a result, calculate_expected_goals_v1(), calculate_expected_goals_v2(), and calculate_expected_goals_v3() are now defunct.
• calculate_speed() is now added to calculate event-to-event deltas in play-by-plays.
• add_shooter_biometrics() is now added to add shooter biometrics to Fenewick events in play-by-plays.
• add_goalie_biometrics() is now added to add goalie biometrics to Fenewick events in play-by-plays.
• ps() is now deprecated; use pss() instead.

nhlscraper 0.4.2
