Python List

A type of data structure in Python used to store collections of ordered items. It is mutable, meaning its contents can be changed after creation.

Range Function in Python

A function in Python that generates a sequence of numbers within a specified range, including the start value but excluding the end value.

Append in Python List

In Python, this method is used to add an item to the end of an existing list, increasing its length.

For Loop in Python

A loop structure in Python that iterates through a sequence of values. It controls the execution of a block of code for each value in the sequence.

What is a function?

A function in Python used to define a block of code that can be reused. It is defined using the 'def' keyword followed by the function name, parentheses for parameters, and a colon.

What is a global variable?

A variable that is defined outside of a function and can be accessed within the function. This allows data to be shared between different parts of the code.

What is a return statement?

A statement in Python that allows a function to return a value or object to the place where it was called. It's essential for functions to send back results.

What is an index in a list?

An index is a numerical value that represents the position of an element in a list. It starts from 0 for the first element, 1 for the second, and so on.

What is a regression model?

A regression model is a statistical technique used to predict the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In this context, it's used to predict the salary of free agents.

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.
