Study Notes
Merging and Manipulating DataFrames
- pd.merge(): Combines two DataFrames based on specified keys or columns.
- NBA_Games: Merged DataFrame from NBA_Teams and Games using 'TEAM_ID' and 'TEAM_NAME'.
- display(NBA_Games.head()): Displays the first few rows of the merged DataFrame.
- Dropping columns: The command NBA_Games.drop(['ABBREVIATION'], axis=1, inplace=True, errors='ignore') removes unnecessary columns while ignoring errors if the column does not exist.
- Sorting: NBA_Games is sorted by 'GAME_ID' in descending order using sort_values().
- Filtering non-null rows: Filters out rows with null values in the 'FG_PCT' column using pd.notnull().
- Filling NaN values: NBA_Games.fillna(NBA_Games.mean()) replaces NaN with the mean of the respective columns.
- Adding columns: New columns 'GM' (total shots made) and 'RESULT' (W/L based on PLUS_MINUS) are added using arithmetic operations and np.where().
Key Regression Concepts
- Dependent variable (Y) represents what is predicted; independent variable(s) (X) are used for predictions.
- Regression line is the best fit through data points.
- Intercept (b0) is the Y-value when all X are zero; slope (b1) shows changes in Y for unit changes in X.
Important Statistical Measures
- R-squared (R²): Proportion of variance in Y explained by X; closer to 1 indicates a better fit.
- Adjusted R-squared: Adjusts R² for the number of predictors; decreases if predictors don't improve the model.
- F-statistic and p-value: Assess significance of the regression relationship; significant if p-value < 0.05.
Coefficients and Errors
- Coefficients indicate the effect of each predictor on Y; positive indicates a direct relationship.
- Standard Error measures accuracy of coefficients; smaller values indicate greater precision.
- t-statistic measures the deviation of the coefficient from zero; significant if p-value < 0.05.
- Confidence Interval provides a range for the true coefficient value, often at a 95% confidence level.
Regression and Visualization Steps
- Import libraries like pandas, numpy, matplotlib, seaborn, and statsmodels for analysis and visualization.
- Data loading includes reading CSV files for NHL team statistics.
- Simple Linear Regression examples correlate 'goals_for' and 'win_pct' and 'goals_against' with winning percentages, using sns.lmplot for visualization.
- Multiple Linear Regression expands the model with additional variables (e.g., avg_ga, competition_name).
- Interaction terms in regression assess complex relationships between predictors (e.g., avg_gf*type).
Pythagorean Winning Percentage
- Calculated using goals_for and goals_against to assess a team's predicted performance based on scoring metrics.
- Visualized relationships between winning percentage and estimated metrics using lmplot.
Aggregating Baseball Game Data
- Data preparation includes loading game logs and creating binary indicators for wins.
- Aggregation by home and away teams calculates total wins, offensive, and defensive metrics (OBP and SLG).
- Regression analysis explores relationships between metrics and win percentages, verifying models using statsmodels.
Importance of Forecasting in Sports
- Enhances team performance evaluation and game outcome predictions.
- Advises management and strategy through data-driven decision-making.
- Engages fans through informed insights and analysis, optimizing performance for a competitive edge.
