improving-the-performance-of-union-mens-lacrosse

Collaborated with a classmate in order to complete a statistical process analysis on the Union Men’s Lacrosse team using JMP Pro. Our goal was to improve the team’s performance (defined by the team’s goal differential) by identifying what statistics/factors were most important to their success. The findings of our analysis were presented to the coaches and implemented into the team’s future strategy.

is-the-nfl-combine-relevant-to-player-performance

Completed an analysis on the relationship between the combine performance and future league performance of 941 NFL players drafted between 2015 and 2017 using R. Proved that the combine performance of NFL players has little to no correlation on future player performance using linear regression. My goal was to show that the NFL Combine should not be an important factor in how players are drafted. This repository contains "Preliminary Data Cleanup", an RMD of my data pre-processing, and "Is the NFL Combine Relevant to Player Performance", a PDF of my RMD analysis and results.
