  • Offensive and Defensive Plus–Minus Player Ratings for Soccer
    applied sciences Article Offensive and Defensive Plus–Minus Player Ratings for Soccer Lars Magnus Hvattum Faculty of Logistics, Molde University College, 6410 Molde, Norway; [email protected] Received: 15 September 2020; Accepted: 16 October 2020; Published: 20 October 2020 Abstract: Rating systems play an important part in professional sports, for example, as a source of entertainment for fans, by influencing decisions regarding tournament seedings, by acting as qualification criteria, or as decision support for bookmakers and gamblers. Creating good ratings at a team level is challenging, but even more so is the task of creating ratings for individual players of a team. This paper considers a plus–minus rating for individual players in soccer, where a mathematical model is used to distribute credit for the performance of a team as a whole onto the individual players appearing for the team. The main aim of the work is to examine whether the individual ratings obtained can be split into offensive and defensive contributions, thereby addressing the lack of defensive metrics for soccer players. As a result, insights are gained into how elements such as the effect of player age, the effect of player dismissals, and the home field advantage can be broken down into offensive and defensive consequences. Keywords: association football; linear regression; regularization; ranking 1. Introduction Soccer has become a large global business, and significant amounts of capital are at stake when the competitions at the highest level are played. While soccer is a team sport, the attention of media and fans is often directed towards individual players. An understanding of the game therefore also involves an ability to dissect the contributions of individual players to the team as a whole.

    International Journal of Computer Science in Sport Volume 18, Issue 1, 2019 Journal homepage: http://iacss.org/index.php?id=30 DOI: 10.2478/ijcss-2019-0001 A comprehensive review of plus-minus ratings for evaluating individual players in team sports Lars Magnus Hvattum Faculty of Logistics, Molde University College, Molde, Norway Abstract The increasing availability of data from sports events has led to many new directions of research, and sports analytics can play a role in making better decisions both within a club and at the level of an individual player. The ability to objectively evaluate individual players in team sports is one aspect that may enable better decision making, but such evaluations are not straightforward to obtain. One class of ratings for individual players in team sports, known as plus-minus ratings, attempt to distribute credit for the performance of a team onto the players of that team. Such ratings have a long history, going back at least to the 1950s, but in recent years research on advanced versions of plus-minus ratings has increased noticeably. This paper presents a comprehensive review of contributions to plus- minus ratings in later years, pointing out some key developments and showing the richness of the mathematical models developed. One conclusion is that the literature on plus-minus ratings is quite fragmented, but that awareness of past contributions to the field should allow researchers to focus on some of the many open research questions related to the evaluation of individual players in team sports. KEYWORDS: RATING SYSTEM, RANKING, REGRESSION, REGULARIZATION IJCSS – Volume 18/2019/Issue 1 www.iacss.org Introduction Rating systems, both official and unofficial ones, exist for many different sports.

The Effect Alternate Player Efficiency Rating Has on NBAr F anchises Regarding Winning and Individual Value to an Organization Abstract For NBA organizations, it can be argued that success is measured in terms of wins and championships. There are major emphases placed on the demand for “superstar” players and the ability to score. Both of which are assumed to be a player’s value to their respective organization. However, this study will attempt to show that scoring alone cannot measure success. The research uses statistics from the 2008-2011 seasons that can be used to measure success through aspects such as efficiency, productivity, value and wins a player contributes to their organization.

  • Player Benchmarking and Outcomes: a Behavioral Science Approach
    Player Benchmarking and Outcomes: A Behavioral Science Approach Ambra Mazzelli (Asia School of Business & MIT) Robert Nason (Concordia University) Track: Basketball Paper ID: 1548699 1. Introduction Benchmarking is important to monitor and provide feedback to players on their performance. (i.e. are they under or overperforming). Behavioral science research, especially that grounded in social psychology, indicates that performance feedback has a strong impact on human behavior including: individual motivation (Deci, 1972; DeNisi, Randolph, & Blencoe, 1982; Pavett, 1983), risk-taking (Kacperczyk et al., 2015; Krueger Jr & Dickson, 1994; March & Shapira, 1992), and performance (Sehunk, 1984; Smither, London, & Reilly, 2005). As a result, performance feedback that is provided to players has the potential to induce changes in player performance. For example, Hall of Famers Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley recently gave voice to negative performance feedback regarding Philadelphia 76ers Center Joel Embiid by openly criticizing him on TNT’s Inside the NBA. Early in the 2019 season, Joel Embiid’s player efficiency rating (PER) currently ranks an impressive 11th in the league (24.73), but is under his own past performance (2018/2019 PER = 26.21)1. Shaq and Charles suggested that Embiid’s recent relative underperformance was due to a lack of motivation and made a point of comparing Embiid to centers on other teams with higher PERs, such as Giannis Antetokounmpo and Anthony Davis. In the next game following Shaq and Charles comments (December 12, 2019 vs. the Boston Celtics) Embiid posted his best game of the season with a season high 38 points and a plus minus of +21 (in a game that the Sixers only won by 6 points).

  • Measuring Production and Predicting Outcomes in the National Basketball Association
    Measuring Production and Predicting Outcomes in the National Basketball Association Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Michael Steven Milano, M.S. Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Packianathan Chelladurai, Advisor Brian Turner Sarah Fields Stephen Cosslett Copyright by Michael Steven Milano 2011 Abstract Building on the research of Loeffelholz, Bednar and Bauer (2009), the current study analyzed the relationship between previously compiled team performance measures and the outcome of an “un-played” game. While past studies have relied solely on statistics traditionally found in a box score, this study included scheduling fatigue and team depth. Multiple models were constructed in which the performance statistics of the competing teams were operationalized in different ways. Absolute models consisted of performance measures as unmodified traditional box score statistics. Relative models defined performance measures as a series of ratios, which compared a team‟s statistics to its opponents‟ statistics. Possession models included possessions as an indicator of pace, and offensive rating and defensive rating as composite measures of efficiency. Play models were composed of offensive plays and defensive plays as measures of pace, and offensive points-per-play and defensive points-per-play as indicators of efficiency. Under each of the above general models, additional models were created to include streak variables, which averaged performance measures only over the previous five games, as well as logarithmic variables. Game outcomes were operationalized and analyzed in two distinct manners - score differential and game winner.

  • Forecasting Most Valuable Players of the National Basketball Association
    FORECASTING MOST VALUABLE PLAYERS OF THE NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION by Jordan Malik McCorey A thesis submitted to the faculty of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Engineering Management Charlotte 2021 Approved by: _______________________________ Dr. Tao Hong _______________________________ Dr. Linquan Bai _______________________________ Dr. Pu Wang ii ©2021 Jordan Malik McCorey ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii ABSTRACT JORDAN MALIK MCCOREY. Forecasting Most Valuable Players of the National Basketball Association. (Under the direction of DR. TAO HONG) This thesis aims at developing models that would accurately forecast the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the National Basketball Association (NBA). R programming language was used in this study to implement different techniques, such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), K- Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and Linear Regression Models (LRM). NBA statistics were extracted from all of the past MVP recipients and the top five runner-up MVP candidates from the last ten seasons (2009-2019). The objective is to forecast the Point Total Ratio (PTR) for MVP during the regular season. Seven different underlying models were created and applied to the three techniques in order to produce potential outputs for the 2018-19 season. The best models were then selected and optimized to form the MVP forecasting algorithm, which was validated by predicting the MVP of the 2019-20 season. Ultimately, two underlying models were most robust under the LRM framework, which is considered the champion approach. As a result, two combination models were constructed based on the champion approach and proved to be most efficient.

Exploring the Impacts of Salary Allocation on Team Performance Abstract Study of salary has been an increasingly important area in professional sports literature. In particular, salary allocation can be a significant factor of team performance in NBA, given credit to the wisdom of team managers. This paper seeks to extend the scope of existing research on basketball by investigating on how salary allocation affected team performance and exploring other factors that lead to team success. Our findings indicate a moderate correlation between salary allocation and team performance, while average Player Efficiency Rating is a more crucial factor of team performance in comparison.
