Section Title:
Topic: Baseball Analytics
Section Info:
This is a reading, seminar, and project based course on the intersection of baseball, statistics, and data science. In this course you will learn how to conduct relevant data analyses with a focus on how to quantify and visualize aspects of baseball play associated with winning games. You will also learn about the statistical history of baseball with an emphasis on comparing players across eras. Founding principles, intensive data analysis, and advanced statistical methods will be discussed for both directions. The analyses that you conduct will also develop your coding ability and critical thinking skills as a statistician and data scientist. Furthermore, practical advantages, limitations, and comparisons of methods will be discussed. If you are interested in quantifying how good Mike Trout is or in ranking the careers of Barry Bonds, Willie Mays, and Babe Ruth, then this is the course for you. Prerequisites: STAT 425; STAT 410; STAT 385 or similar programming and regression modeling experience.
