This works great, but for blogdown we’ll start using Netlify. Let’s start RIGHT NOW with a site we’ve already built and published. Pre-requisites Pick either your postcards site, or your distill site from day 01. Refresh your memory- which repository was it again? /collection/day01/01-github/ Fri, 01 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000 /collection/day01/01-github/ Profile https://docs.github.com/en/github/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-profile/personalizing-your-profile Pin projects to profile https://docs.github.com/en/github/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-profile/pinning-items-to-your-profile Profile README This is new!

DATA 444 Sports Analytics (Undergraduate) This course offers a comprehensive introduction to Sports Analytics, a rapidly evolving field that uses data analysis and computational algorithms to inform decision making in sports. /coursestraining/global/ Tue, 18 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0000 /coursestraining/global/ As of July 2023, I have taught courses in China, Germany, the United Kingdom, Russia, and Peru. IMB 515 Business Analytics (Graduate) An introduction to data driven decision making using descriptive, predictive and prescriptive Business Analytics approaches. Topics included are data visualization, predictive techniques, data mining, simulation, optimization models, and decision analysis. /coursestraining/uncw/ Tue, 18 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0000 /coursestraining/uncw/ BAN 302 Predictive Analytics (Undergraduate) This course covers solving problems in the business environment by using predictive analytics techniques. Modeling techniques such as linear regression, logistic regression, classification and regression trees, neural networks, cluster analysis, and other advanced techniques will be covered. The focus of this class is hands-on learning of how to use these techniques to solve business problems using the appropriate software. BAN 500 Descriptive Analytics (Graduate) This course covers statistical inference as applied to management decision making and focuses on building linear statistical models and developing skills for implementing statistical analysis in real situations. /blog/wc2022ko/ Sat, 03 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0000 /blog/wc2022ko/ (World Cup trophy Photo by Rhett Lewis on Unsplash) A few weeks ago I had grand plans to create a simulation model for the entire 2022 World Cup from the Group Stage through to the Final. However, a bout of strep throat and some travel over the Thanksgiving Break took some time away from my model-building efforts. So, instead of building a simulation model for the whole tournament (the Group Stage is over by the time this blog post is being written), I’ve developed a model for the Knockout Stage. /blog/wc2022viz/ Fri, 04 Nov 2022 00:00:00 +0000 /blog/wc2022viz/ The World Cup The World Cup, the world’s most viewed sporting event is right around the corner. Normally held in the summer months, this year the World Cup is being played in from mid-November to mid-December to avoid the scorching summer heat in host country Qatar. The sports analytics community will doubtlessly turn its attention to the World Cup and you’re likely see many World Cups prediction/forecasting models pop up over the next few weeks. /talk/informs_oct_2022/ Mon, 17 Oct 2022 00:00:00 +0000 /talk/informs_oct_2022/ /project/in_game_win_prob/ Fri, 07 Oct 2022 00:00:00 +0000 /project/in_game_win_prob/ An in-game win probability uses the current “state” of a game/match to estimate the probability that a team will ultimately win the game/match. These types of models exist for a variety of sports. I recently published an article on in-game win probability models for Canadian football in the “Journal of Business Analytics”. The article can be found online here: Article Link. Literature Below is a list of literature (organized by sport) related to in-game win probability models. /talk/edusa_sep_2022/ Wed, 21 Sep 2022 00:00:00 +0000 /talk/edusa_sep_2022/ /talk/informs_cors_jun_2022/ Sun, 05 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0000 /talk/informs_cors_jun_2022/ /blog/ncaa2022/ Tue, 15 Mar 2022 00:00:00 +0000 /blog/ncaa2022/ One of the greatest sports weeks of the year, the first week of the NCAA basketball tournament, is upon us. From the unveiling of the bracket on Selection Sunday to the first games of the week, millions of Americans will scramble to fill out their tournament brackets for fun, fame, and (in some cases) prizes. For some, filling out a bracket is an annual ritual. Picks can be made “on a hunch”, after detailed study of the teams, or even based on the supposed ferocity of team mascots. /blog/ridgelineplots/ Wed, 01 Dec 2021 00:00:00 +0000 /blog/ridgelineplots/ In this blog post we’ll look at creating Ridgeline Plots in R. A Rigdeline Plot (sometimes referred to as a Joy Plot) is typically used to visualize a single quantitative variable across several categories. In our first example, we will look at how the distribution of daily maximum temperature in Lincoln, Nebraska (a quantitative variable) changes by month (categorical). The second example uses college football data from the “cfbfastR” package cfbfastR R Package. /personal/travel/ Thu, 11 Nov 2021 00:00:00 +0000 /personal/travel/ Countries Visited Map As of August 2024, I have visited 57 countries. This countries visited map was created in R with the “highcharter” package. The “webshot” package was used to convert the highcharter-produced HTML widget to a static JPG. Code for this map was modified from World map of visited countries in R. Air Travel Map This air travel map (click on it to see a larger version) shows all of the international flights that I have been on. /talk/ibsa_nov_2021/ Fri, 05 Nov 2021 00:00:00 +0000 /talk/ibsa_nov_2021/ /talk/informs_oct_2021/ Wed, 27 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0000 /talk/informs_oct_2021/ /contact/ Mon, 25 Feb 2019 13:38:41 -0600 /contact/ ** Contact page don’t contain a body, just the front matter above.
