A Python implementation of the paper Wide Open Spaces: A statistical technique for measuring space creation in professional soccer.
Currently only contains the team pitch control function (equation 2 in the paper) and some basic plotting/animation.
There's a Colab notebook here.
I've also tried optimising the code for both Wide Open Spaces & Beyond Expected Goals (Spearman, Sloan, 2018). Using a GPU Colab runtime and PyTorch, you can get a full game done in about 30 seconds for either model.
