Abstract:
|
During the 2007--08 academic year, a capstone course on the statistical analysis of sports data was conducted at St. Lawrence University. Eight students were involved in this seminar, known as the Statistics in Sports Senior Year Seminar (SiSSYS). In this presentation, we summarize some of the analyses produced by these students. These include applications of previously described statistical work in the literature to current data sets in different sports. As part of this poster we discuss the data and methods utilized by students in this seminar. Another talk at this JSM will discuss the organization and implementation of such a capstone experience.
