  • Predicting a Quarterback's Fantasy Football Point
    PREDICTING A QUARTERBACK’S FANTASY FOOTBALL POINT OUTPUT FOR DAILY FANTASY SPORTS USING STATISTICAL MODELS by NICHOLAS AARON KING Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON May 2017 Copyright c by NICHOLAS AARON KING 2017 All Rights Reserved To my parents and faculty who have constantly supported and encouraged me in the pursuit of this degree. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Professor Aera LeBoulluec for her endless support during my time at the University of Texas at Arlington. She was the first one who introduced the field of data science to me and sparked my interest in it. There are a number of opportunities that I have experienced in the past two years at UTA that I would not have been blessed with had she not gone out of her way to help me. I am confident that my time at UTA would have been far less challenging and rewarding had she not been here. This thesis research was no di↵erent. Dr. LeBoulluec enthusiastically supported my ideas and let me run with them whenever inspiration struck. She also knew exactly when to reel me back in and focus on a topic or idea until its completion. I have learned an immense amount throughout this work, many things I would not have had the opportunity, or time, to learn in a traditional classroom setting. I know that this information has positioned me well for a future career in data science.

REGULATORY ENTREPRENEURSHIP ELIZABETH POLLMAN* & JORDAN M. BARRY† ABSTRACT This Article examines what we term “regulatory entrepreneurship”— pursuing a line of business in which changing the law is a significant part of the business plan. Regulatory entrepreneurship is not new, but it has become increasingly salient in recent years as companies from Airbnb to Tesla, and from DraftKings to Uber, have become agents of legal change. We document the tactics that companies have employed, including operating in legal gray areas, growing “too big to ban,” and mobilizing users for political support. Further, we theorize the business and law- related factors that foster regulatory entrepreneurship. Well-funded, scalable, and highly connected startup businesses with mass appeal have advantages, especially when they target state and local laws and litigate them in the political sphere instead of in court.

Football _________________________ Professor Jon Abraham 2. Sports 3. Advanced Sports Logic _________________________ Leonard LaPadula, CEO This report represents the work of four WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. Abstract This project used a variety of different mathematical techniques to improve upon Advanced Sports Logic’s fantasy football software product known as “The Machine.” The team looked at the mathematics behind some of the functions used within the software and recommended changes accordingly. Additionally, the team also worked on creating a new product within “The Machine” which projects statistics throughout the course of a season. The team concluded that the contents of this project could be expanded upon and recommended how to do so consequently. ii Authorship This report was developed through the collaborative efforts Mark Johnston, Ari Lathrop, and Nicholas Mondor. All group members contributed equally to the completion of this project. iii Executive Summary Advanced Sports Logic is an entrepreneurial company founded by WPI alumni Leonard LaPadula that aims to provide its customers with a competitive advantage in fantasy football leagues by increasing their overall chances of winning the league.
