This is the GitHub repository for my writing project as a Master's student in Statistics at Montana State University. I am looking for evidence that pitcher's are more likely to throw over the middle of the plate when their ERA would not be affected. ERA is a commonly used statistic to evaluate pitchers in basebal. Having a good ERA is, therefore, a powerful incentive for pitchers. When this incentive is not present, it stands to reason that pitchers might be more careless with their pitches. You can view the current paper here.
I gave my writing project presentation in April, 2014. The repository containing the presentation can be found here. The slides are located here.
I am creating the Kwproj R package to contain the functions I used to clean and analyze the data. The package is not currently available on CRAN, but it can be installed from GitHub
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("kferris10/Kwproj")
