An Introduction to Modeling NFL Tracking Data.
Description
Senior honors thesis. Open access.
Abstract
In this paper, I have provided a detailed introduction to modeling NFL Next Gen Stats Tracking
Data to tackle complicated football analytics problems. I have further outlined why I believe such
modeling is important, and how it can add to the current world of football analytics. Finally, I attempted
to use the tracking data to model both EPA and yards gained, and, although ultimately not as successful
as I had hoped, I believe I showed that there is reason to believe that the data can be modeled
successfully with more data and more advanced feature engineering. (from Conclusion)
