Opis

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.

Recenzje

"Overall, the book meets its main aim of teaching the reader to analyze real data using R. It is well suited to baseball fans, who have a solid statistical background, and want to learn R or modernize their style of R programming. Baseball fans with a more basic statistical education will also learn from this book . . ."
