  • Continuing Professional Development for RMIT International University Vietnam Library Staff: Adding Value Through an International Partnership
    Asia-Pacific Conference Library & Information Education & Practice, 2011 Continuing Professional Development for RMIT International University Vietnam Library Staff: Adding Value through an International Partnership JULIA LEONG, [email protected] University Library, RMIT University LOC HUU NGUYEN, [email protected] Beanland Library, RMIT International University Vietnam ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to explore the effectiveness of blended learning – the fusion of face-to-face and online learning experiences – to implement an effective and culturally sensitive program of professional development in an Australian university working in a developing country. It sought insight into pertinent pedagogical approaches for staff development across multiple locations including across national boundaries. The project demonstrates how learners can develop new capabilities and approaches by building on existing skills and knowledge as they interact in communities of practice. The immediate purpose was to design and deliver a continuing professional education program to meet the needs of librarians working at RMIT International University Vietnam in the context of the demands of the academic community and in the light of the challenge library staff experienced in seeking to meet explicit and tacit expectations. The project ran from late January to mid December 2010. The research questions were: „Is blended learning effective as an approach to continuing professional development when working across cultures in a multinational organization?‘ and ‗What contribution do face-to-face and online components make to learning outcomes?‘ The methodology used was an action learning approach. A 2009 consultant's report into the RMIT Vietnam Library established professional developmental needs which were further detailed in February 2010 by the project leader from RMIT University, Melbourne using a skills audit.

The accuracy of the DLS method is compared the runs team batting second should have scored when the against various supervised learning algorithms for result match is abandoned. If the team batting second has scored less prediction. The result of a cricket match is predicted during the than the D/L Par Score, the bowling team is declared the second inning. The paper also optimized DLS resource table which is used in the Duckworth-Lewis (D/L) formula to increase winner; otherwise the batting team wins. In this paper, we have its predictive power. Finally, an Unpredictability Index is used this Par Score attribute along with other variables to developed that ranks different cricket playing nations according predict the outcome of an ODI match during different stages of to how unpredictable they are while playing an ODI match. the second inning.

  • Role of External Factors on Outcome of a One Day International Cricket (ODI) Match and Predictive Analysis
    ISSN (Online) 2278-1021 ISSN (Print) 2319-5940 International Journal of Advanced Research in Computer and Communication Engineering Vol. 4, Issue 6, June 2015 Role of External Factors on Outcome of a One Day International Cricket (ODI) Match and Predictive Analysis Mehvish Khan1, Riddhi Shah2 Student, Information Science and Engineering, BMS College of Engineering, Bangalore, India1,2 Abstract: The outcome of a One Day International (ODI) cricket match depends on various factors. This research aims to identify the factors which play a key role in predicting the outcome of an ODI cricket match and also determine the accuracy of the prediction made using the technique of data mining. In this analysis, statistical significance for various variables which could explain the outcome of an ODI cricket match are explored. Home field advantage, winning the toss, game plan (batting first or fielding first), match type (day or day & night), competing team, venue familiarity and season in which the match is played will be key features studied for the research . For purposes of model-building, three algorithms are adopted: Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine and Naïve Bayes. Logistic regression is applied to data already obtained from previously played matches to identify which features individually or in combination with other features play a role in the prediction. SVM and Naïve Bayes Classifier are used for model training and predictive analysis. Graphical representation and confusion matrices are used to represent the various sets of models and comparative analysis is done on them. A bidding scenario is also considered to explain the decisions that can be taken after the model has been built.

    Jadhav &Raizada (2020): Competitive balance of women in cricket Nov 2020 Vol. 23 Issue 17 Survey of Competitive Balance of Women’s Cricket Competition Sanika Jadhav1andShiny Raizada2* 1Student, MBA, 2Assistant Professor, Symbiosis School of Sports Sciences, Symbiosis International (Deemed University), Pune, Maharashtra, India *Corresponding author:[email protected] (Raizada) Abstract Background:Competitive balance is an important factor which involves teams that have an equal number of strengths and weaknesses in the league to keep the predictability of the outcome uncertain and cause the league to be exciting. The study aimed at examining the trends of competitive balance for women’s Domestic One Day Cricket leagues over a period of five years starting from 2015 to 2019.Methods: To evaluate the competitive balance of these domestic leagues the five-club concentration ratio (C5) and C5 index of competitive balance (C5ICB) were used. C5ICB is a more rational index to assess the competitive balance of a particular league.Conclusion:Using the C5ICB index, the results exhibited the highest and lowest competitive balance between countries which were New Zealand (107.52), Australia (124.86), England (142.22) and India (167.23).

    Journal of Sports Analytics 6 (2020) 205–213 205 DOI 10.3233/JSA-200397 IOS Press Setting final target score in T-20 cricket match by the team batting first Durga Prasad Venkata Modekurti Department of Sciences, Indian Institute of Information Technology Design and Manufacturing Kurnool, Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh, India Abstract. The purpose of this paper is to develop a deterministic model for setting the target in T-20 Cricket by the team batting first. Mathematical tools were used in model development. Recursive function and secondary data statistics of T-20 cash rich cricket tournament Indian Premier League (IPL) such as runs scored in different stages, fall wickets in different stages, and type of pitch are used in developing the model. This model was tested at 120 matches held IPL 2016 and 2017. This model had been proved effective by comparing with the models developed earlier. This model can be a useful tool to the stakeholders like coach and captain of the team for adopting better strategy at any stage of the match. For future research, this model can be useful in framing a regulation work by policy makers at both national and international cricket board by deriving the target score during interruptions.
