New version of the rink package is up. Improved the binning code and fixed an issue with hexbin. github.com/the-bucketle...
Based on Sportlogiq data, middle entries in the PWHPA were more likely to lead to shots, but not necessarily goals thebucketless.wordpress.com/2024/07/19/p...
Playing around some more with Sportlogiq's PWHPA data provided to last year's WHKYHAC for the Viz Launchpad competition. This time, I wanted to look at 5-on-5 zone entries with a specific focus on the...
Smoothed out some RAPM numbers while focusing on Mo Seider thebucketless.wordpress.com/2024/06/26/r...
I often see people look to break down a player's minutes by difficulty. Recently, I had an idea on how we can use a RAPM model to show that. RAPM models are basically just big linear regressors that f...
Turnovers at the top of the ozone are around twice as likely to result in shots against as pucks that make it to the neutral zone (using Sportlogiq PWHPA data) thebucketless.wordpress.com/2024/06/06/t...
When a team turns over the puck just inside their own blueline and it leads to a scoring chance, it's inevitable that an analyst will inform the audience "That puck's gotta get out." Using the Sportlo...
I used the Sportlogiq PWHPA data to see how valuable pre-shot movement from passes was to an xG model thebucketless.wordpress.com/2024/05/16/e...
Once again working with the Sportlogiq PWHPA data provided to last year's WHKYHAC for the Viz Launchpad competition. This time, we'll look at how an offensive zone pass preceding a shot affects the sh...
More PWHPA powerplay work using Sportlogiq data. This time looking at ozone play. thebucketless.wordpress.com/2024/05/05/p...
Last time, we looked at how teams were coming out of their own zone. Today, we'll look at how they performed once they gained the offensive zone. This is, once again, using the Sportlogiq data provide...
I used Sportlogiq data to cluster some powerplay breakout patterns thebucketless.wordpress.com/2024/04/24/p...
Today's project looks at how teams transitioned from their dzone to the ozone on the powerplay. Using the data kindly provided by Sportlogiq for last year's WHKYHAC, we can approximate the movement of...
Quick post comparing Platt scaling, isotonic regression, and Venn-ABERS for calibrating an xG model thebucketless.wordpress.com/2024/04/12/c...
A while ago, I saw a classification competition on Kaggle in which calibration through isotonic regression was an important element in the winning entry. I've long since forgot what the competition wa...
I compared shot data from @gdignard.bsky.socialthebucketless.wordpress.com/2024/03/27/p...
Anyone who has followed advanced stats work for the NHL will likely be familiar with discrepancies in how shots have been tracked at different rinks. Most notably, the folks at MSG were especially kin...
