Bayesian Group Learning for Shot Selection of Professional Basketball Players
read the original abstract
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 a mixture of finite mixtures (MFM) model to capture the heterogeneity of shot selection among different players based on Log Gaussian Cox process (LGCP). Our proposed method can simultaneously estimate the number of groups and group configurations. An efficient Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm is developed for our proposed model. Simulation studies have been conducted to demonstrate its performance. Ultimately, our proposed learning approach is further illustrated in analyzing shot charts of several players in the NBA's 2017-2018 regular season.
