To begin research on how to put my formula together, I took up a general knowledge of analytics. Analytics can be defined as "
the discovery and communication of meaningful data," which could not summarize my approach to this project any better (IBM). Specifically, I feel this definition summarizes my goals best because I want to
discover what
data is
meaningful in soccer and
communicate my results, which will be a product of
meaningful data, as well as,
meaningful data itself.
Below is a video, created by IBM, the international leader in providing data analytics, that generally explains how analytics work. IBM mainly applies their analytics to business, however they briefly mention a few other potential applications.
Prepare to learn
As you can see, there are many potential applicable areas for analytics, other than just business. As a personal passion of mine is soccer, that is the area I chose to apply analytics.
Get ready, the formula is coming.
