Calculate the Euclidean distance from the attacking net for all the events (plays) in a play-by-play

calculate_distance() calculates the Euclidean distance from the attacking net for all the events (plays) in a play-by-play.

Usage

calculate_distance(play_by_play)

Arguments

play_by_play

data.frame of play-by-play(s); see gc_play_by_play() and/or wsc_play_by_play() for reference; must be untouched by non-nhlscraper functions; saves time if normalize_coordinates() has already been called

Value

data.frame with one row per event (play) and added distance column

Examples

# May take >5s, so skip.
# \donttest{
  test                     <- gc_play_by_play()
  test_is_home_flagged     <- flag_is_home(test)
  test_coords_normalized   <- normalize_coordinates(test_is_home_flagged)
  test_distance_calculated <- calculate_distance(test_coords_normalized)
# }
