Vincent Freeh, NC State University, presents at the 2016 HPCC Systems Engineering Summit Community Day.
Pro Football is the most popular sport in America and has been for 30 years. Because the action in football can be discretized into a series of plays, it is highly amenable to analysis. The basic level of analytics is "aggregation." It produces statistics such as total yards rushing that can be broken out by player, game, team, etc. This includes more elaborate formulation such as quarterback rating (which is a scalar produced from four stats) or third down conversion rate. Taking a cue from baseball's sabermetrics revolution, novel "statistical" analytics are appearing. For example, one can determine the probability of victory for a given game situation using models developed from outcomes from previous games. Football Outsider's DVOA (defense-adjusted value over average) is a preeminent example of creatively using statistical tools and techniques to concoct a statistic that normalizes differences in order to compare individual performance on a level field. The next level in this analytics evolution is "graphical" analytics, which enable discovering and comparing patterns in the data.
In collaboration with NC State University and LexisNexis Risk Solutions, we have developed an analytics solution on HPCC Systems leveraging ECL and KEL that looks at NFL data on the three aforementioned levels: aggregation, statistical, and graphical. During this session we will present a variety of interesting football analytics including our novel, graphical "play-call similarity" analytics that compares teams play calling, normalized to the game situation.
