NRL Goal Kicking Model
We use a logistic regression to fit a model that predicts the success rate of a goal attempt.
The code to load data, build model, run predictions and create ratings is found in the subdirectory /src.
The data to train the model is found in the subdirectory /data. The data was manually collected by NRL Fanalytics and encompasses Rounds 1 & 2 of the 2020 season.
To run the code you will need to install the following packages on your local machine by running the code below.
install.packages(tidyverse)
install.packages(ggplot2)
