Join Data Scientist Russ Walters Ph.D. and Lecturer of Statistics and Data Science Paul Sabin Ph.D. for an engaging workshop tailored specifically for Wharton and Penn students interested in sports analytics.
In this session, you’ll dive into the core concepts and techniques used to analyze sports performance and strategy, including data collection, statistical modeling, and visualization. A key part of the workshop will involve working with sports data using R, so you’ll gain hands-on experience coding and applying analytical methods. Don’t worry if you’re new to coding—this will be a beginner-friendly introduction, and you’ll also have the option to take home the code and materials to explore further at your own pace.
Whether you’re an undergraduate exploring data analytics for the first time, or a graduate student looking to apply analytical methods to sports, this workshop will equip you with practical tools and insights to enhance your academic and professional pursuits. No prior experience in data science is required—just a passion for sports and a desire to learn!
