How do the professional players select their shot locations? An analysis of Field Goal Attempts via Bayesian Additive Regression Trees
Jiahao Cao, Hou-Cheng Yang, Guanyu Hu
Basketball analytics has significantly advanced our understanding of the game, with shot selection emerging as a critical factor in both individual and team performance. With the a…
Zero Inflated Poisson Model with Clustered Regression Coefficients: an Application to Heterogeneity Learning of Field Goal Attempts of Professional Basketball Players
Guanyu Hu, Hou-Cheng Yang, Yishu Xue +1
Although basketball is a dynamic process sport, with 5 plus 5 players competing on both offense and defense simultaneously, learning some static information is predominant for prof…
Time Fused Coefficient SIR Model with Application to COVID-19 Epidemic in the United States
Hou-Cheng Yang, Yishu Xue, Yuqing Pan +2
In this paper, we propose a Susceptible-Infected-Removal (SIR) model with time fused coefficients. In particular, our proposed model discovers the underlying time homogeneity patte…
Bayesian Group Learning for Shot Selection of Professional Basketball Players
Guanyu Hu, Hou-Cheng Yang, Yishu Xue
In this paper, we develop a group learning approach to analyze the underlying heterogeneity structure of shot selection among professional basketball players in the NBA. We propose…
Spatial Clustering Regression of Count Value Data via Bayesian Mixture of Finite Mixtures
Peng Zhao, Hou-Cheng Yang, Dipak K. Dey +1
Investigating relationships between response variables and covariates in areas such as environmental science, geoscience, and public health is an important endeavor. Based on a Bay…
Bayesian Inference for Big Spatial Data Using Non-stationary Spectral Simulation
Hou-Cheng Yang, Jonathan R. Bradley
It is increasingly understood that the assumption of stationarity is unrealistic for many spatial processes. In this article, we combine dimension expansion with a spectral method…
Spatial Weibull Regression with Multivariate Log Gamma Process and Its Applications to China Earthquake Economic Loss
Hou-Cheng Yang, Lijiang Geng, Yishu Xue +1
Bayesian spatial modeling of heavy-tailed distributions has become increasingly popular in various areas of science in recent decades. We propose a Weibull regression model with sp…
