CLASSIFICATION OF NBA LEAGUE TEAMS USING DISCRIMINANT AND LOGISTIC REGRESSION ANALYSES
Abstract :
The National Basketball Association (NBA) is one of the most popular and well-established men s professional basketball leagues in the world. Predicting of NBA playoffs between NBA teams poses a challenging problem of interest to statistical science as well as the general public. We concentrated on modeling and determining the variables from game-related statistics that affect the teams playing in the playoffs by using the performance values of the teams during the regular season. Finally we show how it could have been used to predict the 2011-2012 NBA playoff results with Discriminant and Logistic Regression Analyses.
