Football data analysis and modeling showcase
This year I got to teach a numerical methods course to first year students in Faculty of Physics (Vilnius University). As theory is somewhat boring and feels somewhat detached from practice, I have decided to provide students with practical showcase on how to work with empirical data. For this showcase I have selected a small subset of a larger football data set. Namely, I decided to take a look at English Premier League's 2000/2001 season.
