NBA Oracle - Applying Machine Learning methods for basketball game outcome prediction and decision support. Group Members
The importance of well-informed decisions regarding player aquisitions and predicting game outcomes in the professional sports business is critical; even moreso in the NBA, which is a multi-billion dollar industry on its own [3]. The goal of this project is to learn, explore, and apply machine learning techniques to an existing dataset of NBA and ABA basketball statistics to: 1) Predict the outcome of a game, given the two participating teams, and 2) Identify outstanding players based on season and career statistics. In addition to our two original goals, after having extensively examined and worked with our data set and having learned about clustering techniques in class, we are now also interested in applying machine learning clustering techniques to infer player positions.
