In the sports industry what types of questions could you ask and assess using linear regression?

Expert Solution

One of the application of using a linear regression method in any field is modeling the given data in form of variables to model it into an equation through which the linear model certain predictions can be made.

For example lets consider the game of baseball/cricket.

we can predict using the linear regression the batting average of a batsman using his previous batting scores over a spread of time.Here the question would be :

Q) What is the history(data) batting scores of the "Player in question" over the past 15 matches or over the period of last one year ?

similarly we can predict a pitchers performance using a regression analysis

Q) what is the speed/velocity history(data) of "pitcher in question" over the last 1000 pitches he made?

Q) How many strikes did "pitcher in question" made in his last 1000 pitches ?

The above questions can be used to come with predictive analytics about the players thus they can be judged and more informed decisions could be made.
