add section on modeling? #26

Closed beanumber closed 2 years ago

beanumber commented 2 years ago

However, I think that the "analytics" part of "sports analytics" could be embellished. Currently, there is not much discussion of packages for "modeling" and/or "prediction". Inclusion/exclusion criteria will be more difficult for them because they might not be specific to a certain sport but more general. As an example, think of binary regression models for winning probabilities or bivariate Poisson GLMs for goals in a football/soccer match.

Nice work! Can you add these to the markdown file?

qntkhvn commented 2 years ago

Done!

I also added to the modeling section a short bullet point mentioning other CTV (Bayesian, MachineLearning, Spatial...) that may contain functions for stats modeling in sports.
