Pricing Calculator

Fantasy Baseball Pricing Calculator using Z-Scores

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. This project uses Node.js and Typescript.

Prerequisites

I plan on publishing a more detailed blog post on how the background and usage of this library (as well as it's roadmap), but here is quick Getting Started.

This assumes that you already have Node and TypeScript installed.

Installing

1. Create a new directory for a sample consumer application:

mkdir sample && cd sample

2. Create a node application

npm init -y

3. Install the pricing-calculator

npm install --save @sablelab/pricing-calculator

4. Create an index.js file

touch index.js

5. Create a directory to hold your sample data

makedir sample-data

6. Populuate the sample-data directory with the following input files. There are sample files in the gihub repository that you can use:

• batting projection file
• pitching projection file
• input parameters file

7. Use the sample files to calculate pricing:

var pricing = require('@sablelab/pricing-calculator');

// use our sample data to generate the necessary inputs:
var params = require('./sample-data/params.json');
var batting = require('./sample-data/batting.json');
var pitching = require('./sample-data/pitching.json');

// create a new calculator with the inputs:
var calc = new pricing.PriceCalculator(params, batting, pitching);

// calculate the reponse:
var response = calc.calculate();

// inspect the response object to see all of the pricing information:
console.log(`Batting Iterations: ${r.battersOutput.numberOfIterations}`);
console.log(`Pitching Iterations: ${r.pitchersOutput.numberOfIterations}`);

8. Run the application to generate the response:

node index.js

// output:
Batting Iterations: 4
Pitching Iterations: 3
