Dealing with the MCFC Analytics Advanced Data Release
Ford Bohrmann
I wanted to point out an excellent blog post from the blog Professor Pepper's Assistant.
If you're an R user and are having trouble dealing with the Advanced MCFC Analytics XML data file, the link above provides the code to pull the data in to a data frame in R. After this it is easy to perform whatever analysis you want on it.
I'll admit the code above is beyond my limited R skill level, but I know that it works. I'm excited to start doing some analysis, although the advanced data set is only for one game from last season at this point.
