A Few Success Stories of Data Mining in Sports
• Billy Beane’s Oakland Athletics (A’s) – nearly defeats New york Yankees in 2001 –using “Sabermetrics”
• Boston Red sox Wining two World Champions(2004 and 2007) after a 86 year gap.
• Ukraine’s Kiev Dynamo wins Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Cup in 1975 and 1986.
• AC Milan reduces player injuries.
Problem with Statistics
• In Baseball – metrics such as Batting Average, Earned Run Average (ERA).– Refined Formula’s by James– Runs Created = ((Hits + Walks) * ΣBases) / (At-Bats + Walks)– ERA = (Earned Runs Allowed * 9) / IP
• In American Football –No of Receptions, Yards per carry.
• Basket ball – Rebound Statistic, Field goals Percentage
Prediction Player Injury to increase Player Downtime
• AC Milan’s success story behind a healthy team.

• Computer Associates (Brightstor, CleverPath and eTrust software) developed an analysis software.
• Supervised Classification method- Neural Networks is used to predict the Injuries.
• Unisys system - gathers physical and mental player state with help of AMD Hardware.
• Information is fed into an analysis software developed by CA and analyzed using PAS(Predictive analysis Server).
• Data set consists of Injury and Recovery History, Diet, Performance, Biochemical and Skeletal statistics.
• 91% reduction in player injury rates.
• Reduced 41 muscle injuries to just 2-3 for three consecutive years.
• Helps in player selection, organization, and player trade during transfer season.
