• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The book will be of interest to basefall fans who want to learn some sabermetrics, and also people who know sabermetrics but would like to use R in their data exploration. Many students do not work on baseball data because the datasets are very large. By learning R through our book, they will be encouraged to do more baseball research on their own.
