1. Install the package from CRAN

The yorkr package can be installed directly from CRAN now! Install the yorkr package.

if (!require("yorkr")) {
  install.packages("yorkr") 
  library("yorkr")
}
rm(list=ls())

2. Get data for all matches against all oppositions for a team

We can get all matches against all oppositions for a team/country using the function below. The dir parameter should point to the folder in which the RData files of the individual matches exist. This function creates a data frame of all the matches and also saves the resulting dataframe as RData

setwd("C:/software/cricket-package/york-test/yorkrData/ODI/ODI-team-allmatches-allOppositions")

# Get all matches against all oppositions for India and save as RData
matches <-getAllMatchesAllOpposition("India",dir=".",save=TRUE)
dim(matches)

## [1] 140655     25

“`

3. Save data for all matches against all oppositions

This can be done locally using the function below. This function gets all the matches of the country/team against all other countrioes//teams and combines them into a single dataframe and saves it in the current folder. The current implementation expects that the the RData files of individual matches are in ../data folder. Since I already have converted this I will not be running this again

#saveAllMatchesAllOpposition(dir=".",odir=".")

4. Load data directly for all matches between 2 teams

As in my earlier posts (yorkr-Part1 & yorkr-Part2) I have however already saved the data, for all matches of the individual countries, against all oppositons. The data for these matches for the individual teams/countries can be downloaded directly from Github folder at ODI-team-allmatches-allOppositions

Note: The dataframe for the different for all the matches of a country agaisnt all oppositons can be loaded directly into your code. As can be seen in the calls below the datframes are ~100,000+ rows x 25 columns. While I have 10+ functions to process these dataframes, for a particular team, feel free to download these data frames and perform your own analysis. The data frames include ball-by-ball details, details on non-striker, bowler, runs, extras, venue,date etc. Certainly these data frames are a gold-mine of interesting insights. So do go ahead and unleash your bagging/boosting algorithms, SVM classifiers or Random Forest algorithm on them.

I plan to try out some algorithms of statistical/machine learning in the months to come. If you do come up with interesting insights, I would appreciate if attribute the source to Cricsheet(http://cricsheet.org), and my package yorkr and my blog Giga thoughts, besides dropping me a note.*

As in my earlier post I will be directly loading the saved files. For the illustration of the functions, I will use India in all the functions, (for obvious reasons) and will randomly use the data from the rest of the top 8 teams

setwd("C:/software/cricket-package/york-test/yorkrData/ODI/ODI-team-allmatches-allOppositions")

Conclusion

This post included all functions for a team in all matches against all oppositions. As before the data frames are already available. You can load the data and begin to use them. If more insights from the dataframe are possible do go ahead. But please do attribute the source to Cricheet (http://cricsheet.org), my package yorkr and my blog. Do give the functions a spin for yourself.

I will be coming up with the last part to my introduction to cricket package yorkr soon.

Watch this space!
