This repository will contain getting started material with R. It will try to cover the topics of how to begin programming with R:

-Data transformation (working with scalars, arrays, vectors, lists, dataframes, matrices, data tables)
-Data visualization
-Performing analysis
-Interactive applications in Shiny

The code that is available at the moment is the following:

• Draw_Pitch.R

  • A file that draws the pitch used for visualizing data on a soccer field. It hasn't yet be turned into a function, but the first two lines of code will let you set the pitch dimensions. It is set to 120 x 80 based on the dimensions used by StatsBomb.
  • Learn to create your own pitch from scratch with FC_rStats (https://github.com/FCrSTATS/Visualisations/blob/master/3.CreateAPitch.md)

• Statsbomb.R

  • A file containing how to get started with the StatsBomb open data, provided to us graciously via this link: https://github.com/statsbomb/open-data.

• Statsbomb_Shiny_Part1.R

  • Most of the code is reused from Statsbomb.R except we now create a basic shiny application to visualize shot map information

• Statsbomb_Shiny_Part2.R

  • An extension from Part 1 to build a fully functional interactive shot map via R Shiny. Goes more in-depth into the UI and Server pieces within an application.

Some additional repos that may help:

• https://github.com/statsbomb/StatsBombR (Feel free to look at the code for how they pull data to see the difference between what is provided in this repo vs other ways to transform data)
