Heavily weighted in the areas of competition (rating players and teams, evaluating strategies for victory), the articles vary in mathematical complexity, but most will be accessible to readers with a general knowledge of statistics. Newly written material from the editors and other notable contributors introduces each section of the book, and a chapter with suggestions on using the articles in the classroom is included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOrganized by sport to make it easy for readers to find the papers in their particular areas of interest, \u003cem\u003eAnthology of Statistics in Sports\u003c\/em\u003e contains separate sections devoted to the major North American team sports of baseball, football, basketball, and ice hockey. Two additional sections cover miscellaneous sports and more general issues related to sports and statistics. This book grew from the efforts of members of the ASA Section on Statistics in Sports, which is dedicated to promoting high professional standards in the application of statistics to sports and fostering statistical education in sports.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58105960563062,"sku":"9780898715873","price":84.81,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780898715873-anthology-of-statistics-in-sports","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
