A Bayesian Mixture Model Approach to Expected Possession Values in Rugby League
Thomas Sawczuk, Anna Palczewska, Ben Jones +1
The aim of this study was to improve previous zonal approaches to expected possession value (EPV) models in low data availability sports by introducing a Bayesian Mixture Model app…
Identifying a severity measure for head acceleration events associated with suspected concussions
Gregory Tierney, Ross Tucker, James Tooby +12
Objectives: To identify a head acceleration event (HAE) severity measure associated with HIA1 removals in elite level rugby union. Methods: HAEs were recorded from 215 men and 325…
On relative universality, regression operator, and conditional independence
Bing Li, Ben Jones, Andreas Artemiou
The notion of relative universality with respect to a Ï-field was introduced to establish the unbiasedness and Fisher consistency of an estimator in nonlinear sufficient dimension…
Development of an expected possession value model to analyse team attacking performances in rugby league
Thomas Sawczuk, Anna Palczewska, Ben Jones
This study aimed to provide a framework to evaluate team attacking performances in rugby league using 59,233 plays from 180 Super League matches via expected possession value (EPV)…
Identification of pattern mining algorithm for rugby league players positional groups separation based on movement patterns
Victor Elijah Adeyemo, Anna Palczewska, Ben Jones +1
The application of pattern mining algorithms to extract movement patterns from sports big data can improve training specificity by facilitating a more granular evaluation of moveme…
Use of Kernel Density Estimation to understand the spatial trends of attacking possessions in rugby league
Thomas Sawczuk, Anna Palczewska, Ben Jones +1
Despite having the potential to provide significant insights into tactical preparations for future matches, very few studies have considered the spatial trends of team attacking po…
Certifying high-dimensional quantum channels
Sophie Engineer, Suraj Goel, Sophie Egelhaaf +9
The use of high-dimensional systems for quantum communication opens interesting perspectives, such as increased information capacity and noise resilience. In this context, it is cr…
