Study Notes

Code for Regression Across Seasons

Code will run regression for multiple seasons
Four steps in the process:
- Writing a general regression function
- Creating a list to store regression results
- Running the regression and storing results
- Associating each regression with its season

Function for Annual Regression

Function MBExpandFA(Season)
- Takes Season as input
- Defines a function for money/regression annually
- Subsets data for free agents
- Uses SalYear to match the input season.
- Uses free agency = 1.
- Global lm variable for external access using global lm statement.
Function performs regression using ols and stores it in lm.
Returns the results.

Storing Regression Results

lmResults initialized as an empty list
index starts at 0
A loop iterates through seasons (1994-2015):
lmResults[index] = results of running a regression function (MBExpandFA) for the current Season.
index increments after each iteration.

Naming the Regression Results

Creates a list lm_Season with strings representing the season numbers (e.g., "1994").
A loop appends season numbers to the list.

Description

This quiz focuses on the implementation of regression analysis for evaluating sports performance across multiple seasons. You will learn how to write a general regression function, store results, and associate regressions with specific seasons from 1994 to 2015. Test your knowledge on the key concepts involved in performing annual regression analysis.
