Why Focus on Sports Industry..?? • Vast amount of data collected over time for Players, Teams, Club. • Very less Preprocessing required. • Maintain Competitive environment. • Multi Billion dollar Industry. http://www.wildkingdumb.com/2013/09/blog-post.html
Hmm Evolution of Relationship between Sports and Sports Data No Relationship Use of Statistics for Decision Making Domain Experts + Gut Feeling Domain Experts + Historical Data Use of Data Mining for Decision Making http://blog.zopim.com/2013/11/28/evolution-sale/
A Few Success Stories of Data Mining in Sports • Billy Beane’s Oakland Athletics (A’s) – nearly defeats New york Yankees in 2001 –using “Sabermetrics” • Boston Red sox Wining two World Champions(2004 and 2007) after a 86 year gap. • Ukraine’s Kiev Dynamo wins Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Cup in 1975 and 1986. • AC Milan reduces player injuries.
Problem with Statistics • In Baseball – metrics such as Batting Average, Earned Run Average (ERA). • Refined Formula’s by James • Runs Created = ((Hits + Walks) * ΣBases) / (At-Bats + Walks) • ERA = (Earned Runs Allowed * 9) / IP • In American Football –No of Receptions, Yards per carry. • Basket ball – Rebound Statistic, Field goals Percentage
Prediction Player Injury to increase Player Downtime • AC Milan’s success story behind a healthy team. Jean-Pierre Meersseman AC Milan Lab www.acmilan.com http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/feb/16/milan-lab-premier-league
Computer Associates (Brightstor, CleverPath and eTrust software) developed an analysis software. • Supervised Classification method- Neural Networks is used to predict the Injuries. • Unisys system - gathers physical and mental player state with help of AMD Hardware. • Information is fed into an analysis software developed by CA and analyzed using PAS(Predictive analysis Server).
Data set consists of Injury and Recovery History, Diet, Performance, Biochemical and Skeletal statistics. • 91% reduction in player injury rates. • Reduced 41 muscle injuries to just 2-3 for three consecutive years. • Helps in player selection, organization, and player trade during transfer season.
