NFL — additional Python functions — Models and calculators: get_4th

get_4th_down_probs​

get_4th_down_probs(pbp_df: "Union[pl.DataFrame, 'pd.DataFrame']") -> 'pd.DataFrame'

Full 4th-down decision surface (nfl4th add_4th_probs) + recommendation.

Runs get_go_wp, get_fg_wp, get_punt_wp on the fourth-down rows and adds the combined option columns plus:

  • go_boost -- nfl4th's headline number: 100 * (go_wp - max(fg_wp, punt_wp)) in percentage points (a NaN punt_wp is treated as 0).
  • fourth_down_recommendation -- the max-WP choice among {go, punt, field_goal} (NaN options are excluded).
  • go_wp_diff / punt_wp_diff / fg_wp_diff -- each option's WP minus the recommended option's WP (the recommended option's diff is 0, the others <= 0). NaN where the option WP is NaN.

Parameters

ParameterTypeDefaultDescription
pbp_dfUnion[DataFrame, 'DataFrame']Play-by-play frame (polars or pandas) of fourth-down situations (the nflverse-shape output of load_nfl_pbp; see module docstring for required columns).

Returns

A pandas copy of pbp_df with the decision columns added. Empty input returns the input plus empty decision columns.
