nflgame.statmap module

The stats module maps statistical category identifiers from NFL.com's GameCenter JSON feed to a representation of what we believe that statistical category means. This mapping has been reverse engineered with a lot of help from reddit users rasherdk and curien.

B{Note}: We now have a data dictionary mapping statistical category id to a description from nflgsis.com. An original copy is in the root directory of the nflgame repository (StatIDs.html).

If you think anything here is wrong (or can figure out some of the unknowns), please let me know by filing an issue here: https://github.com/BurntSushi/nflgame/issues

For each statistical category identifier, we create a dict of 6 fields describing that statistical category. The fields are cat, fields, yds, value, desc and long.

cat specifies which statistical category the particular stat belong in. Only statistical categories in nflgame.player.categories should be used.

fields specifies the actual statistical field corresponding to the stat. This will manifest itself as a property on statistical objects via the API. These fields should correspond to counters; i.e., number of receptions, rushing attempts, tackles, etc.

yds specifies a field that contains the yardage totals relevant to the stat. If a stat does not specify yards, this field should be blank (an empty string).

value specifies how much each statistic is worth. This is 1 in every case except for split sacks.

desc specifies a human readable description for the statistic. It should be concise and clear. If a statistical category is unknown, then desc should contain a string like 'Unknown (reason for confusion)'. Valid reasons for confusion include "data is inconsistent" or "this looks like a duplicate" all the way to "I have no fucking clue."

long contains a verbatim description from nflgsis.com. Some of the information clearly references legacy systems, but alas, it is included as it adds to the context of each statistical category.
