Beschreibungen/Notizen

• This practical guide helps statisticians, students, and baseball fans learn about sabermetrics and the use of R in data exploration. It covers the relation between runs and wins and the runs expectancy matrix, as well as how to visualise pitch trajectories and umpires' tendencies and how to uncover patterns of players and teams. The authors also examine the effects of ballpark dimensions and weather conditions, compare the intra-player correlations of several baseball stats, and explore recent progress in the objective evaluation of defense.
