Congelio Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Presents an introduction to the analysis of NFL data using R.

It covers the entire sports analytics framework, including data collection, cleaning and wrangling, visualization, analysis, and advanced methods. Publisher Description It has become difficult to ignore the analytics movement within the NFL. An increasing number of coaches openly integrate advanced numbers into their game plans, and commentators, throughout broadcasts, regularly use terms such as air yards, CPOE, and EPA on a casual basis. This rapid growth, combined with an increasing accessibility to NFL data, has helped create a burgeoning amateur analytics movement, highlighted by the NFLs annual Big Data Bowl. Because learning a coding language can be a difficult enough endeavor, Introduction to NFL Analytics with R is purposefully written in a more informal format than readers of similar books may be accustomed to, opting to provide step-by-step instructions in a structured, jargon-free manner.Key Coverage:Installing R, RStudio, and necessary packagesWorking and becoming fluent in the tidyverseFinding meaning in NFL data with examples from all the functions in the nflverse family of packagesUsing NFL data to create eye-catching data visualizationsBuilding statistical models starting with simple regressions and progressing to advanced machine learning models using tidymodels and eXtreme Gradient BoostingThe book is written for novices of R programming all the way to more experienced coders, as well as audiences with differing expected outcomes.
