Statistics Slam Dunk

Autor Gary Sutton
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 feb 2024

Dacă v-ați confruntat vreodată cu dificultatea de a învăța statistică folosind seturi de date abstracte sau sterile, Statistics Slam Dunk propune o schimbare de paradigmă: stăpânirea analizei datelor prin intermediul ecosistemului NBA. Problema tehnică centrală pe care o rezolvă Gary Sutton nu este doar predarea sintaxei R, ci procesarea datelor brute, „murdare”, pentru a extrage insight-uri reale, cum ar fi impactul salariilor asupra victoriilor sau eficiența strategiilor de joc. Observăm în această lucrare o structură riguroasă, unde fiecare capitol este un proiect de sine stătător care parcurge fluxul complet de lucru: import, transformare (wrangling), vizualizare și modelare. Apreciem în mod deosebit accentul pus pe vizualizarea avansată a datelor. Cu peste 300 de reprezentări grafice, de la diagrame Pareto la curbe Lorenz, volumul demonstrează forța pachetului ggplot2 în contextul performanței sportive. Complementar lui Basketball Data Science, care se concentrează pe aplicații spațiale și situații de presiune dintr-un singur sezon, Statistics Slam Dunk acoperă o zonă mai vastă de inginerie a datelor și modelare avansată (clustering K-means, efectul Lindy și inteligență colectivă), fiind ideal pentru cei care vor să treacă de la „base R” la universul tidyverse. Față de un ghid generalist precum The Book of R, volumul de față oferă o specializare tehnică profundă în zona de sport analytics, transformând conceptele teoretice de probabilitate în instrumente de decizie tactică.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte analiștilor de date și pasionaților de sport care doresc să își rafineze abilitățile de programare în R prin proiecte practice, nu doar teorie. Cititorul câștigă o experiență valoroasă în gestionarea datelor reale, neprelucrate, și învață să construiască modele predictive complexe. Este resursa ideală pentru a face tranziția către un rol de data scientist, folosind un domeniu dinamic și captivant precum baschetul profesionist.


Descriere

Learn statistics by analyzing professional basketball data! In this action-packed book, you’ll build your skills in exploratory data analysis by digging into the fascinating world of NBA games and player stats using the R language. Statistics Slam Dunk is an engaging how-to guide for statistical analysis with R. Each chapter contains an end-to-end data science or statistics project delving into NBA data and revealing real-world sporting insights. Written by a former basketball player turned business intelligence and analytics leader, you’ll get practical experience tidying, wrangling, exploring, testing, modeling, and otherwise analyzing data with the best and latest R packages and functions. In Statistics Slam Dunk you’ll develop a toolbox of R programming skills including: Reading and writing data Installing and loading packages Transforming, tidying, and wrangling data Applying best-in-class exploratory data analysis techniques Creating compelling visualizations Developing supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms Executing hypothesis tests, including t-tests and chi-square tests for independence Computing expected values, Gini coefficients, z-scores, and other measures If you’re looking to switch to R from another language, or trade base R for tidyverse functions, this book is the perfect training coach. Much more than a beginner’s guide, it teaches statistics and data science methods that have tons of use cases. And just like in the real world, you’ll get no clean pre-packaged data sets in Statistics Slam Dunk. You’ll take on the challenge of wrangling messy data to drill on the skills that will make you the star player on any data team. Foreword by Thomas W. Miller. Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications. About the technology Statistics Slam Dunk is a data science manual with a difference. Each chapter is a complete, self-contained statistics or data science project for you to work through—from importing data, to wrangling it, testing it, visualizing it, and modeling it. Throughout the book, you’ll work exclusively with NBA data sets and the R language, applying best-in-class statistics techniques to reveal fun and fascinating truths about the NBA. About the book Is losing basketball games on purpose a rational strategy? Which hustle statistics have an impact on wins and losses? Does spending more on player salaries translate into a winning record? You’ll answer all these questions and more. Plus, R’s visualization capabilities shine through in the book’s 300 plots and charts, including Pareto charts, Sankey diagrams, Cleveland dot plots, and dendrograms. What's inside Transforming, tidying, and wrangling data Applying best-in-class exploratory data analysis techniques Developing supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms Executing hypothesis tests and effect size tests About the reader For readers who know basic statistics. No advanced knowledge of R—or basketball—required. About the author Gary Sutton is a former basketball player who has built and led high-performing business intelligence and analytics organizations across multiple verticals.
