README.md:

This serves as a guide to the files included in my SeniorThesis GitHub repository.

In the general section of files:

• data.zip: zip file containing data used

  • Files under data_from_R output from Data_Acquisition.Rmd and input for Clean_OB.ipynb
  • Files under data_cleaned_OB output from Clean_OB.ipynb and input for Data_Cleaning_PA.ipynb and Data_Cleaning_SB.ipynb

• Data_Aquisition.Rmd: Provides code to access pbp data for all seasons

  • Output files stored within data.zip, in data_from_R folder

• Clean_OB.Rmd: Provides code to clean and adjust "Men_OB" feature of pbp data

  • Input files stored within data.zip, in data_from_R folder
  • Ouput files stored within data.zip, in data_cleaned_OB folder

• ABS_teams.Rmd: Provides code to acquire game_pks of Triple-A teams from 2022 season that used automated ball and strike system (ABS)

• problem_pks.csv: Output of ABS_teams.Rmd, list of game_pks of Triple-A games from 2022 in which ABS was active

  • Used as inputs for Data_Cleaning_PA.ipynb and Data_Cleaning_SB.ipynb

• Data_Cleaning_PA.Rmd: Provides code to clean and prepare data for final PA model

  • Main input files stored within data.zip, in data_cleaned_OB folder
  • Additional input file, problem_pks.csv
  • Ouput files stored within /PA/PA_data.zip

• Data_Cleaning_SB.Rmd: Provides code to clean and prepare data for final SB model

  • Main input files stored within data.zip, in data_cleaned_OB folder
  • Additional input file, problem_pks.csv
  • Ouput files stored within /SB/SB_data.zip

In the PA folder:

• PA_data.zip: zip file containing data used

  • Files under data_from_R output from Data_Cleaning_PA.ipynb and input for PA_model.Rmd

• Final_fitted_PA_models.zip: zip file containing final fitted R model objects for overarching as well as count sub-models

  • Each sub-model has its own folder within it, containing:
    1. .txt output of the model summary
    2. The .rds model object
    3. A .csv file with output of fitted values

• PA_model.Rmd:

  • Used to fit the PA outcome models

In the SB folder:

• SB_data.zip: zip file containing data used

  • Files under data_from_R output from Data_Cleaning_SB.ipynb and input for SB_model.Rmd

• Final_fitted_SB_models.zip: zip file containing final fitted R model objects for overarching as well as count sub-models

  • Each sub-model has its own folder within it, containing:
    1. .txt output of the model summary
    2. The .rds model object
    3. .txt output of the model summary for model fit without "AB_pickoffs" feature
    4. The .rds model object for model fit without "AB_pickoffs" feature

• SB_model.Rmd:

  • Used to fit the SB attempt models

NOTE: I should have called all of the "SB" models "SBA" to be consistent with how I refer to it in my actual thesis. My mistake.
