Sports Analytics Program
The Jordan Effect is a sports analytics education program. The program engages student athletes in data science education through the practices of data collection, data summarization, pattern recognition, and predictive analysis. Our team engages and educates the youth in this program through a sports-based approach, analyzing sports statistics and creating likelihood models to predict future outcomes.
Through this program we aim to introduce these young people to the foundations of applied math and science at the intersection of data science and sports. Our goal is to inspire the next generation of data scientists through their passion for sports and debate, and respect for the power of analytical thinking.
