DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/UFV-math-sta
 ts/33/">Two Problems in Soccer Analytics</a>\nby Tim Swartz (Simon Fraser 
 University) as part of Fraser Valley Math & Stats Seminar\n\nLecture held 
 in A-252.\n\nAbstract\nThis talk concerns two problems in soccer analytics
  that both rely on tracking data. The first problem begins with a review o
 f average aging curves in sport. Then\, a new approach is introduced\nwhic
 h addresses personal aging curves in soccer\, an essential problem of inte
 rest which has not been previously addressed.\n\nThe second problem concer
 ns the development of a metric that identifies soccer players who have a s
 imilar style to a player of interest. Whereas performance variables have b
 een well studied\, the same is not true of stylistic variables. Unlike ass
 essments from scouting\, the metric is automatic and objective. The metric
  is developed using a Bayesian framework.\n
