    BAYESIAN ANALYSIS OF DYADIC DATA ARISING IN BASKETBALL by Xin Lucy Liu B.Sc., Shenyang University, 1996 a project submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science c Xin Lucy Liu SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2007 All rights reserved. This work may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. APPROVAL Name: Xin Lucy Liu Degree: Master of Science Title of project: Bayesian Analysis of Dyadic Data Arising in Basketball Examining Committee: Dr. Richard Lockhart Chair Dr. Tim Swartz Senior Supervisor Simon Fraser University Dr. Paramjit Gill Co-Supervisor Simon Fraser University Dr. Tom Loughin External Examiner Date Approved: ii Abstract The goal of this project is to use statistical methods to identify players and combinations of players which affect a basketball team’s performance. The traditional statistics which are recorded tell us only about the contribution of individual players (eg. points scored, rebounds, etc). However, there are subtle aspects of play such as defensive help, setting screens and verbal communication that are known to be important but are not routinely recorded. The model we propose is based on the Bayesian social relations model. The results help us identify aspects of player performance. Data from the NBA 2004 and NBA 2005 finals are used throughout the project to illustrate our approach. Keywords: Bayesian social relations model, Dyadic data, WinBUGS iii Dedication In memory of my father, Zhong-Xuan Liu (1946-1994) iv Acknowledgements I would like to thank the people who have helped me go through this difficult, challenging yet exciting time of my life.

  • Nebraska Basketball Program
    NNEBRASKAEBRASKA BBASKETBALLASKETBALL Two years into the Doc Sadler era, there is no question about the excitement building around the Nebraska basketball program. That enthusiasm not only comes as a direct result of the energetic and engaging personality at the helm of the program but from the hard-working and increasingly talented squad he puts on the floor every game. Sadler’s squads have reached their full potential each season, including a 20-win season and NIT berth last year. He has reshaped the program, bringing a new attitude to Lincoln and his players have bought in whole-heartedly, evidenced by a trio of Nebraska all-conference and all- newcomer honors in 2008. With each new accomplishment, the future gets brighter for Nebraska with Sadler on the sideline. Far column: In each of the past two summers, Coach Doc Sadler has hosted a golf tournament to bring together former Husker players and coaches, including (top) NBA veterans Eric Piatkowski, Erick Strickland and Nebraska’s all-time winningest coach, Danny Nee, along with (middle) Andy Markowski and NBA veteran Tyronn Lue. NU’s third-leading all-time scorer Jerry Fort came back to play in the golf tournament in 2008 (bottom), making a return to the campus for just the second time in nearly three decades. Left: Sadler led NU to fi rst-round wins in both the 2008 Big 12 Championship and postseason NIT. His 37 victories ties the 86-year-old Nebraska record for a second-year head coach. Below: Sadler has presented a free coaches clinic each of the past two years to have a chance to connect with high school and junior college coaches from around the state and region.
