Markov Decision Processes with Dynamic Transition Probabilities: An Analysis of Shooting Strategies in Basketball
Nathan Sandholtz, Luke Bornn
In this paper we model basketball plays as episodes from team-specific non-stationary Markov decision processes (MDPs) with shot clock dependent transition probabilities. Bayesian…
Time Perception Machine: Temporal Point Processes for the When, Where and What of Activity Prediction
Yatao Zhong, Bicheng Xu, Guang-Tong Zhou +2
Numerous powerful point process models have been developed to understand temporal patterns in sequential data from fields such as health-care, electronic commerce, social networks,…
Rao-Blackwellizing Field Goal Percentage
Daniel Daly-Grafstein, Luke Bornn
Shooting skill in the NBA is typically measured by field goal percentage (FG%) - the number of makes out of the total number of shots. Even more advanced metrics like true shooting…
A Bayesian Nonparametric Approach to Geographic Regression Discontinuity Designs: Do School Districts Affect NYC House Prices?
Maxime Rischard, Zach Branson, Luke Miratrix +1
Most research on regression discontinuity designs (RDDs) has focused on univariate cases, where only those units with a "forcing" variable on one side of a threshold value receive…
