Revision as of 15:58, 9 October 2016 by Manasm.2012 (talk | contribs)
Project Description
The aim of this project is to get deeper knowledge into the current trend in NBA and what makes a team succeed, so the questions we are going to answer are:
1. Is the role of centre becoming less and less important NBA?
2. Are 3-point-shooting teams more likely to win through the past ten years?
3. What is the most important quality of a championship team?
4. Is there a indicator of a player’s best performance in career?
5. What make 2011 Dallas mavericks and 1996 Houston Rockets win the championship?

- Logistic Regression: The outcome of the analysis will usually be based on a success or failure of the game. Hence to do a regression analysis on factors for success of a game, we need to use logistic regression as the dependent variable is categorical in nature
- Time Series Analysis: Basketball Reference consists of 5 years’ worth of dataset. Thus it’s worth doing a time series analysis on player performance, team performance, change in player’s role and several other factors
