A Few Success Stories of Data Mining in Sports Billy Beane sOakland Athletics (A s) nearly defeats New york Yankees in 2001 using Sabermetrics Boston Red sox Wining two World Champions(2004 and 2007) after a 86 year gap. Ukraine s Kiev Dynamo wins Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Cup in 1975 and 1986. AC Milan reduces player injuries.
Problem with Statistics In Baseball metrics such as Batting Average, Earned Run Average (ERA). Refined Formula s by James Runs Created = ((Hits + Walks) * Bases) / (At-Bats + Walks) ERA = (Earned Runs Allowed * 9) / IP In American Football No of Receptions, Yards per carry. Basket ball Rebound Statistic, Field goals Percentage
Prediction Player Injury to increase Player Downtime AC Milan s success story behind a healthy team. Jean-Pierre Meersseman AC Milan Lab www.acmilan.com http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/feb/16/milan-lab-premier-league
Computer Associates (Brightstor, CleverPath and eTrust software) developed an analysis software. Supervised Classification method- Neural Networks is used to predict the Injuries. Unisys system - gathers physical and mental player state with help of AMD Hardware. Information is fed into an analysis software developed by CA and analyzed using PAS(Predictive analysis Server).
Data set consists of Injury and Recovery History, Diet, Performance, Biochemical and Skeletal statistics. 91% reduction in player injury rates. Reduced 41 muscle injuries to just 2-3 for three consecutive years. Helps in player selection, organization, and player trade during transfer season.
