NFL Rushing Analytics
Aaron Augustine | |||
For my project, I studied various predictors that influence rushing yards in the National Football League. I used Random Forests to predict the number of yards gained on a rushing play. I will talk about the steps I went through to clean and prepare the data, my model building processes, and some issues that I encountered along the way. Visualizations were constructed to further investigate some of the more important predictors in the model. | |||
