  • Session 2101-2016
    Paper 2101-2016 Using the Kaplan-Meier Product-Limit Estimator to Adjust NFL Yardage Averages Keith Curtis, USAA ABSTRACT Average yards per reception, as well as number of touchdowns, are commonly used to rank National Football League (NFL) players. However, scoring touchdowns lowers the player's average since it stops the play and therefore prevents the player from gaining more yardage. If yardages are tabulated in a life table, then yardage from a touchdown play is denoted as a right-censored observation. This paper discusses the application of the SAS/STAT® Kaplan-Meier product- limit estimator to adjust these averages. Using 15 seasons of NFL receiving data, the relationship between touchdown rates and average yards per reception is compared, before and after adjustment. The modification of adjustments when a player incurred a 2-point safety during the season is also discussed. INTRODUCTION It is intuitive that a player who tends to gain more yards from a forward pass reception is also likely to score more touchdowns than an average player. So 2 metrics commonly used to compare players are their average yards-per- reception and number of touchdowns. However, scoring a touchdown is detrimental to the yardage average, since the touchdown stops the play, and therefore prevents the player from gaining more yardage. If we assume the player would have continued gaining yards on an analogous play further from their opponent’s goal line, then the yardage value is a right-censored observation. With a right-censored observation, the “true” value is higher than the recorded observation. This contrasts from a left-censored observation, where the recorded observation is higher than the “true” value.
