Learn statistics by analyzing professional basketball data! In this action-packed book, you'll build your skills in exploratory data analysis by digging into the fascinating world of NBA games and player stats using the R language.
Statistics Slam Dunk is an engaging how-to guide for statistical analysis with R. Each chapter contains an end-to-end data science or statistics project delving into NBA data and revealing real-world sporting insights. Written by a former basketball player turned business intelligence and analytics leader, you'll get practical experience tidying, wrangling, exploring, testing, modeling, and otherwise analyzing data with the best and latest R packages and functions.
In Statistics Slam Dunk you'll develop a toolbox of R programming skills including:
Reading and writing dataInstalling and loading packagesTransforming, tidying, and wrangling dataApplying best-in-class exploratory data analysis techniquesCreating compelling visualizationsDeveloping supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithmsExecuting hypothesis tests, including t-tests and chi-square tests for independenceComputing expected values, Gini coefficients, z-scores, and other measures
If you're looking to switch to R from another language, or trade base R for tidyverse functions, this book is the perfect training coach. Much more than a beginner's guide, it teaches statistics and data science methods that have tons of use cases. And just like in the real world, you'll get no clean pre-packaged data sets in Statistics Slam Dunk. You'll take on the challenge of wrangling messy data to drill on the skills that will make you the star player on any data team.
Foreword by Thomas W. Miller.
