Models for the 'nflfastR' Package

A data package that hosts all models for the 'nflfastR' package.

fastrmodels

The R package fastrmodels is a lower level data-only package that includes all models required by the nflfastR package. Since the models take up significant file size, they have been swapped out of the nflfastR package.
