    Game, Set, Match: A Mathematical Perspective Of The Creation Of A Tennis Board Game An Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) By Peter Blievernicht Dr. Rebecca Pierce ,------~ /"l ) ClYV\.--------------~~--------------------------- ~IU-e CA-/ Y~ ~ Ball State University Muncie, Indiana April 2002 - .- 1, _, f' ' ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I must first express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Rebecca Pierce, my thesis advisor, for her role in this educational endeavor. I cannot thank her enough for her encouraging advice, valuable input, constructive criticism, and beneficial editing comments. Thank you very much Dr. Pierce for contributing to my feeling of satisfaction with this project. - I must also thank my parents, Kenneth and Sally Blievemicht, for testing out my game and providing an honest evaluation of my game. Thanks Mom and Dad. I extend a thank you to Brandon Luhring, for his advice about using rubber cement to paste my player cards to the index cards. The cards stick together wonderfully. Thanks Brandon. I must extend another special thank you to Jamison Sills, for allowing me to use his alias "Don Sillione" as part of my "wild card" feature. Thanks Jamison. A final thank you to Dr. Jack Foley, for allowing me to mention his MATHS 453 class in my project. (I would never really play my game during one of his lectures) Thank you Dr. Foley. - ABSTRACT "Game, Set, Match" is my created version of a tennis game wherein 2 opposing players simulate a tennis match. My game is based on the baseball version of the Strat-O-Matic game. These games are predicated on the mathematical principles of probability and statistics to provide an accurate, realistic, and entertaining simulation of a tennis match.

  • Exploiting Pitcher Decision-Making Using Reinforcement Learning” (DOI: 10.1214/13-AOAS712SUPP; .Pdf)
    The Annals of Applied Statistics 2014, Vol. 8, No. 2, 926–955 DOI: 10.1214/13-AOAS712 c Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2014 MONEYBaRL: EXPLOITING PITCHER DECISION-MAKING USING REINFORCEMENT LEARNING By Gagan Sidhu∗,† and Brian Caffo‡ General Analytics∗1, University of Alberta† and Johns Hopkins University‡ This manuscript uses machine learning techniques to exploit base- ball pitchers’ decision making, so-called “Baseball IQ,” by modeling the at-bat information, pitch selection and counts, as a Markov De- cision Process (MDP). Each state of the MDP models the pitcher’s current pitch selection in a Markovian fashion, conditional on the information immediately prior to making the current pitch. This in- cludes the count prior to the previous pitch, his ensuing pitch selec- tion, the batter’s ensuing action and the result of the pitch. The necessary Markovian probabilities can be estimated by the rel- evant observed conditional proportions in MLB pitch-by-pitch game data. These probabilities could be pitcher-specific, using only the data from one pitcher, or general, using the data from a collection of pitchers. Optimal batting strategies against these estimated conditional dis- tributions of pitch selection can be ascertained by Value Iteration. Optimal batting strategies against a pitcher-specific conditional dis- tribution can be contrasted to those calculated from the general con- ditional distributions associated with a collection of pitchers. In this manuscript, a single season of MLB data is used to cal- culate the conditional distributions to find optimal pitcher-specific and general (against a collection of pitchers) batting strategies. These strategies are subsequently evaluated by conditional distributions cal- culated from a different season for the same pitchers.
