NAME

Sport::Analytics::NHL::Normalizer - normalize the merged boxscore, providing default values and erasing extra and redundant data.

SYNOPSYS

Normalizes the merged boxscore, providing default values and erasing extra and redundant data.

These functions first summarize the events in the boxscore to help to try to find incosistencies with the summary in the player stats and in the team stats. Then all data in the boxscore is normalized and standardized, the PSTR, PEND and GEND events are added where necessary, and events are sorted and _id-ed properly.

use Sport::Analytics::NHL::Normalizer;
my $event_summary = summarize($boxscore);
normalize($boxscore);

GLOBAL VARIABLES

The behaviour of the tests is controlled by several global variables:
* $PLAYER_IDS - hashref of all player ids encountered.

FUNCTIONS

assign_event_ids

Assigns flowing event ids to the boxscore events of the form:

* event_id : 1..@events
* _id: game_id*10000 + event_id

Arguments: the events array reference Returns: void. Sets the events in the boxscore.

insert_pend

Inserts a PEND (Period End) event into the group of events of a given period.

Arguments:

* The arrayref of the events of the period
* The number of the period
* The last event of the period
* The flag if the event ended the period (e.g. OT goal)

Returns: void. Modifies the period arrayref

insert_pstr

Inserts a PSTR (Period Start) event into the group of events of a given period.

Arguments:

* The arrayref of the events of the period
* The number of the period
* The first event of the period

Returns: void. Modifies the period arrayref

normalize_boxscore

Does the module's main purpose: normalizes the boxscore

Arguments:

* boxscore to normalize
* flag whether to skip summarizing

Returns: the $PLAYER_IDS hashref (q.v.) of all player ids encountered. Boxscore is modified.

normalize_event_by_type

Normalizes event according to its type.

Arguments: the event

Returns: void. The event is modified.

normalize_event_header

Normalizes event's "header" - the general data such as zone, game, strength, time data.

sort_events

Sorts the events of the boxscore, inserting the PSTR, PEND and GEND events if necessary. The events are sorted by:

* Period
* Timestamp
* Event precedence rank (from PSTR (highest) to GEND (lowest))
* Event type
* Event's active team

Argument: the boxscore

Returns: void. The boxscore is modified.

summarize
