Sat 14: Sports data


Robin Lock


Information

Many students are athletes and/or avid sports fans who appreciate and find motivation in applications of statistics to issues that arise in sports. Where can instructors (or students) find relevant,, accessible sports data? What are some sports questions that map well to typical course objectives? How can we structure sports-based examples to be accessible and interesting to non-fans or should we avoid using them? This session is designed to encourage participants to address these questions and share their experiences with using (or wanting to use) sports data in teaching statistics.
