Final call for this! twitter.com/Torvaney/statu…

I've recently finished my dissertation, building on an idea that @Torvaney explained at the last Statsbomb Conference. I'd be super interested in any thoughts! drive.google.com/file/d/1Jk3NKL…

Footballers are 50% more likely to develop dementia, a study by researchers from the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden finds theguardian.com/football/2023/…

@petermckeever Just came to this conclusion myself - the official book has been good so far: doc.rust-lang.org/book/

Alright, I'm learning rust

This package makes 200+ metrics available for players/teams at match and season levels. Even better: Do you use something other than R for analysis? You can download the scraped data here: github.com/nwslR/nwsldata. Data will update several times a week once the season starts.

🚨 New R package alert! 🚨 I’m over the moon to share that nwslR is back and better than before. The goal is to make #NWSL stats and information accessible to fans and analysts of the league. Check it out: github.com/nwslR/nwslR

xG model calibration: is there a blind spot in public models? ✍: tinyurl.com/xg-model-calib…

@petermckeever What are the killer features for you? I got the download, but have been so far put off by having to sign up with an email address

Switched over to Arc browser about two weeks ago and I don't think I could go back to anything else! If you're on mac and wanna take it for a test drive I've a couple of friend links that will let you skip the waiting list

I don't usually re-up my videos but I was quite pleased with this one and you might have missed it in the midst of a busy weekend...

@Torvaney I've been meaning to pick this up for a while now. I'm happy to collaborate with anyone who wants to take this further

Over/under on number of views before someone leaves a comment on the misspelling of “ascension”?

Aviva is matching personal donations to Bow Food Bank (up to £250 per person). The food bank buys most of the food they give out at wholesale prices, and most of the money they raise goes on food, so anything you can give will go far! crowdfunder.co.uk/p/future-food

U.S. Soccer Statement On The Passing Of Grant Wahl:

@NathanAClark I think the only way out is modelling of one form or another. For example, if youy modelled the above DAG to try and estimate the "true xG" (lol), I guess you'd end up with something like down-weighting observed xG according to the P(goal) and P(ruled out | goal)?

@Torvaney I keep thinking about this but don't know where to go next with it
