  • Modeling Human Decision-Making in Spatial and Temporal Systems
    Modeling human decision-making in spatial and temporal systems by Nathan Gene Sandholtz M.Sc., Brigham Young University, 2016 B.Sc., Brigham Young University, 2012 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science Faculty of Science ⃝c Nathan Gene Sandholtz 2020 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Summer 2020 Copyright in this work rests with the author. Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Nathan Gene Sandholtz Degree: Doctor of Philosophy (Statistics) Title: Modeling human decision-making in spatial and temporal systems Examining Committee: Chair: Jean-François Bégin Assistant Professor Luke Bornn Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Derek Bingham Supervisor Professor Tim Swartz Internal Examiner Professor Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science Robert B. Gramacy External Examiner Professor Department of Statistics Virginia Polytechnic and State University Date Defended: August 20, 2020 ii Abstract The first project in this thesis explores how efficiently players in a basketball lineup col- lectively allocate shots. We propose a new metric for allocative efficiency by comparing a player’s field goal percentage (FG%) to their field goal attempt (FGA) rate in context of both their four teammates on the court and the spatial distribution of their shots. Lever- aging publicly available data provided by the National Basketball Association (NBA), we estimate player FG% at every location in the offensive half court using a Bayesian hierar- chical model. By ordering a lineup’s estimated FG%s and pairing these rankings with the lineup’s empirical FGA rate rankings, we detect areas where the lineup exhibits inefficient shot allocation.

  • Ranking the Greatest NBA Players: an Analytics Analysis
    1 Ranking the Greatest NBA Players: An Analytics Analysis An Honors Thesis by Jeremy Mertz Thesis Advisor Dr. Lawrence Judge Ball State University Muncie, Indiana July 2015 Expected Date of Graduation May 2015 1-' ,II L II/du, t,- i II/em' /.. 2 ?t; q ·7t./ 2 (11 S Ranking the Greatest NBA Players: An Analytics Analysis . Iv/If 7 Abstract The purpose of this investigation was to present a statistical model to help rank top National Basketball Association (NBA) players of all time. As the sport of basketball evolves, the debate on who is the greatest player of all-time in the NBA never seems to reach consensus. This ongoing debate can sometimes become emotional and personal, leading to arguments and in extreme cases resulting in violence and subsequent arrest. Creating a statistical model to rank players may also help coaches determine important variables for player development and aid in future approaches to the game via key data-driven performance indicators. However, computing this type of model is extremely difficult due to the many individual player statistics and achievements to consider, as well as the impact of changes to the game over time on individual player performance analysis. This study used linear regression to create an accurate model for the top 150 player rankings. The variables computed included: points per game, rebounds per game, assists per game, win shares per 48 minutes, and number ofNBA championships won. The results revealed that points per game, rebounds per game, assists per game, and NBA championships were all necessary for an accurate model and win shares per 48 minutes were not significant.

  • 2017 BOYS Gymrat CHALLENGE POST-EVENT REPORT
    2017 BOYS GymRat CHALLENGE POST-EVENT REPORT 17U Age Division Report 16U Age Division Report 15U Age Division Report 14U Age Division Report 13U Age Division Report 12U Age Division Report By STEVE AMEDIO GymRat CHALLENGE Director of Communications [email protected] SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY-If one thing has become certain over the two decades of the GymRat CHALLENGE, it's that it takes a lot more than just having a team of individual standouts to win a championship at the storied event. It does take a combination of will and skill, but more importantly is team play and defense, two aspects of the game not always associated with the sport on the AAU level. But, that so-called dirty work on the defensive end, along with an often-difficult to accomplish team chemistry on offense once again proved to be the winning formula for most of the teams in the 20th edition of the prestigious event held in New York's Capital Region over Memorial Day Weekend. No one said it better that Pat McGlynn, coach of the Gold Bracket title at the 17-under age division. "We've got 10 hillbillies who all know what counts in events like this," said McGlynn. "These kids all came here just to play basketball." PAGE | 1 And so they did, and they did it well. The York Ballers were particularly proficient on the defensive end, limiting its three opponents to a tournament-low 70 total points in their three pool-round games and not many more in the championship round. Platinum Bracket champion at the 17-under division, the New York Havoc squad, similarly played a team-first style to find their stride and capture a title.
