[R] [R-pkgs] Announce: Lahman baseball database archive package, v 3.0
Dear list Version 3.0-1 of the Lahman package was recently submitted to CRAN. It contains the the tables from Sean Lahman's Baseball Database, http://www.seanlahman.com/baseball-archive/statistics/ as a set of R data.frames with examples of use. V 3.0 provides the updated data on pitching, hitting and fielding performance and other tables from 1871 through 2013, as recorded in the 2014 version of the database. The Lahman project has a home page at http://lahman.r-forge.r-project.org/ with some additional examples. Additional links to other applications or analyses of this database are invited. If you have used the earlier v. 2.0-x package in scripts or examples, please note that the database schema has been somewhat revised to regularize the use of player ID variables across the various tables, and remove some redundant variables, so some scripts may need to be revised. In particular: o HallOfFame$hofID is now HallOfFame$playerID o managerID is now playerID in all tables o Removed from Master: managerID, hofID, holtzID, lahmanID, lahman40ID, lahman45ID, nameNote, nameNick, and college -Michael -- Michael Friendly Email: friendly AT yorku DOT ca Professor, Psychology Dept. & Chair, Quantitative Methods York University Voice: 416 736-2100 x66249 Fax: 416 736-5814 4700 Keele Street Web:http://www.datavis.ca Toronto, ONT M3J 1P3 CANADA _______________________________________________ R-packages mailing list R-packages at r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-packages
