Bayesian methods are also used in this research field, but the association between these two is being developed. The aim of this paper is to present new mathematical concepts that are based on information and probability theory and can be applied to network analysis in Team Sports. These results are based on the transition matrices of the Markov chain, associated with the adjacency matrices of a network with n nodes and allowing for a more robust analysis of the variability of interactions in team sports. The proposed models refer to individual and collective rates and indexes of total variability between players and teams as well as the overall passing capacity of a network, all of which are demonstrated in the UEFA 2020/2021 Champions League Final.

    4. Thiago Silva “Overweight ladyboy”. An insult that Thiago Silva would most certainly never use to describe another person, let alone another footballer, but one that he was instead at the receiving end of from former Marseille loanee Joey Barton. There are distinct differences between a player like Silva and another like Barton. Thiago Silva shows all signs of having understood the concept of footballing responsibility, and that he is able to let his supreme talent speak out for him against the few critics he has. Barton does not have enough footballing confidence to let his performances do the talking, and, as a result, foolishly !lashed out at the Brazilian whom Barton had every right to be jealous of. Thiago Silva’s lack of a response to Barton’s onslaught in May 2013 was emblematic of his demeanour on and off the pitch. The term ‘class’ is one that is frankly overused when describing footballers, but !Thiago Silva categorically embodies it. After a €42m move to the current French champions in 2012, Thiago Silva was under extreme pressure to perform to the best of his reported abilities. If that was not enough weight on the already undisputed leader of the Brazilian national team’s shoulders, he was then made captain of Paris Saint Germain, a role that he fulfilled throughout 2013 as a calendar year. A period of adjustment was indeed necessary, but the brief length of that period before Thiago Silva appeared truly at ease with his new surroundings was testament to a skill that distinguishes the player from other household name !central defenders in the football world: the ability to adapt rapidly to a different environment.

  • COALITIONAL DYNAMICS in PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEMS a Dissertation by THIAGO NASCIMENTO DA SILVA Submitted to the Office of Graduate An
    COALITIONAL DYNAMICS IN PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEMS A Dissertation by THIAGO NASCIMENTO DA SILVA Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Guy D. Whitten Co-Chair of Committee, José Antonio Cheibub Committee Members, William Roberts Clark Maria C. Escobar-Lemmon Robert Kirby Goidel Head of Department, William Roberts Clark May 2019 Major Subject: Political Science Copyright 2019 Thiago Nascimento da Silva ABSTRACT In contrast to initial expectations, a recent literature has identified coalition formation as being almost as common in presidential systems as in parliamentary systems. However, few studies have analyzed the dynamics of coalition governments in presidential democracies. In this dissertation, I address these dynamics, which include government formation, government breakdown, and policy monitoring between coalition partners. Three questions are answered in this dissertation: What explains the variation in the advantage of the president’s party with regards to the allocation of ministerial posts? Why and when do presidential coalition members monitor policies being implemented by their partners? Under what conditions are cabinet coalition terminations more likely to occur in presidential systems? My answers to these questions provide important insights into the fundamental differences between presi- dential and parliamentary forms of government. ii DEDICATION To Lindsey. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am aware of academia’s general practice of offering discreet and moderate acknowledg- ments, but here I will choose to follow my emotions, and list spontaneous and open-hearted thanks to the people who generously shared their knowledge, their time, and their lives during my dissertation journey.
