Short-Handed SPURS Humiliate Houston SPORTS SATURDAY, MAY 13, 2017 MOTOR RACING Hamilton fastest as Mercedes dominate BARCELONA: Lewis Hamilton set the pace in Spanish Grand Prix practice yesterday as Formula One world champions Mercedes responded to the challenge of Ferrari with aerody- namic upgrades and consistently quicker times. With the cham- pionship finely balanced after four long-haul races, Mercedes turned up at the Circuit de Catalunya with a car whose revised features drew appreciative and apprehensive murmurs around the paddock. It appeared to be to triple champion Hamilton’s liking, with the Briton on top of the timesheets in the morning with a best lap of one minute 21.521 seconds and then fastest again in the afternoon in 1:20.802. His times were respectively a mere 0.029 and 0.090 quicker than those of Finnish team mate Valtteri Bottas. Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen was third in both sessions but cut his morning deficit of nearly a second down to 0.310 after lunch. Championship leader Sebastian Vettel was fourth on the timesheets, 0.418 off the pace in the second session, with the German also suffering an early problem that halted his Ferrari at the pitlane exit. “There’s something broken,” the German, who leads Hamilton by 13 points, said over team radio. “There’s an issue with the gearbox”. The car was pushed back to the garage and Vettel reappeared on track just over half an hour later. Angry Alonso Spain’s double world champion Fernando Alonso endured far more frustration, with his McLaren again breaking down before he had set a time in the morning.

  • Graphical Model for Baskeball Match Simulation
    Graphical Model for Baskeball Match Simulation Min-hwan Oh, Suraj Keshri, Garud Iyengar Columbia University New York, NY, USA, 10027 [email protected], [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Conventional approaches to simulate matches have ignored that in basketball the dynamics of ball movement is very sensitive to the lineups on the court and unique identities of players on both offense and defense sides. In this paper, we propose the simulation infrastructure that can bridge the gap between player identity and team level network. We model the progression of a basketball match using a probabilistic graphical model. We model every touch and event in a game as a sequence of transitions between discrete states. We treat the progression of a match as a graph, where each node is a network structure of players on the court, their actions, events, etc., and edges denote possible moves in the game flow. Our results show that either changes in the team lineup or changes in the opponent team lineup significantly affects the dynamics of a match progression. Evaluation on the match data for the 2013-14 NBA season suggests that the graphical model approach is appropriate for modeling a basketball match. 1 Introduction Predicting the outcomes of professional sports events is one of the most popular practices in the sports media, fan communities and, of course, sport betting related industries. Predictions range from human prediction to statistical analysis of historical data. In recent years, basketball, specifically the NBA, has received much atten- tion as a domain of analytics with the advent of player tracking data.
