Introducing Data Points: Straight to the Point Content - Unleashing Data Science through the Playbook of Sports Analytics
Welcome to Data Points!
Welcome to Data Points, the official Substack newsletter brought to you by Athlyticz! We're thrilled to have you join our community of data science enthusiasts and sports analytics aficionados. Our Substack is now live, and we can't wait to dive into the exciting content we have lined up for you. Here's a sneak peek into the five sections that will form the core of Data Points:
The Bayesian Boom
The Bayesian Boom is where you'll find applied Bayesian articles that delve deep into predictive modeling in sports. We'll be exploring tools like Stan and PyMC to bring you the latest and greatest in Bayesian statistics, helping you understand and apply these powerful methods to sports analytics. This section features examples from the Athlyticz Academy "Becoming a Bayesian" series, led by Columbia Professor Dr. Scott Spencer. Expect detailed tutorials, case studies, and real-world applications to guide you through the Bayesian landscape.
Shiny Showcase
In Shiny Showcase, we feature state-of-the-art app development techniques for building production-level Shiny apps on both desktop and mobile. This section is based on the top-notch curricula co-developed by Shiny experts Veerle van Leemput and David Granjon. These courses (Productionizing Shiny Applications, Customizing Widgetz, and Mobile Structurez) are carried out on the Athlyticz Academy platform, where Veerle's high-quality instruction ensures you get the best learning experience possible. Look forward to in-depth guides, interactive tutorials, and examples of best practices in Shiny development.
Athletic Edge
Our Athletic Edge section delves into the realm of advanced tools and technologies in sports performance science. Here, you'll immerse yourself in leveraging cutting-edge biomechanics principles, motion capture, force plates, and other sports tech innovations. This section is based on the Athlyticz Academy course "Tools and Technologiez" led by the team at S3D Sidekick. Articles will include hands-on tutorials, equipment reviews, and interviews with experts in the field.
Predictive Playbook
Stay tuned for Predictive Playbook, where we explore state-of-the-art techniques for predictive modeling and machine learning in the world of sports. This section is based on the Athlyticz Academy course "Python Machinez in Sports," (coming soon) developed by predictive modeling expert Pat McFarlane. You can expect practical deliverables like code snippets, video examples, and step-by-step guides that will help you apply machine learning models to real-world sports problems.
