Closed this issue · 2 comments

Hi Stephanie

Thanks for this compilation! What a great and huge collection of useful data!
I am not sure, how to use it, though.

I executed the two commands
library(devtools)
install_github("skoval/deuce")
And the download worked perfectly.

But how do I now access the data and it's description?

On my Ubuntu I went to my R folder (which is in the home directory) and found the package deuce there. In it lay the RData files which I can open in my RStudio.
But for example in the R folder I do not find the R files with the data description as I expected it, viewing the github repo online.

Furthermore when I open for example the atp_strength.Rdata I find the available data there but it does not match the data description.
RStudio says my variable atp_strength has 288478 rows and 27 columns.
The data description says that there should be 1,259,206 rows and 19 variables.

The table looks correct. There is data available from 1968 to 2016-01-18 (very neat, thx for that!) but I was just confused as it does not match the description in the R file on github.

Can you help me out?
When I have everything up and running I'd be happy to contribute a manual of the steps I took.
btw: Is there a list of data sources you used for this compilation?


A quick additional remark: I just realized that the variable atp_elo matches the data description

Thank you for your interest in deuce.

I've just performed a commit that I hope has addressed the manual/data inconsistencies.

Also, please have a look at new Readme file. It has some more description of some of the basic contents and provides a few small examples. It is brief but I hope it provides additional help.

Thx! That really helped!
