Meilleurs avis pour MATH BEHIND MONEYBALL
par SP25 juil. 2017
Great course, however very heavy emphasis on Baseball and NFL. Resultantly some of the assessment questions proved impossible given the knowledge needed about the sport.
par TD19 oct. 2020
Very interesting course. Great way to get to know how analytics departments behind the scenes of professional sports work.
par YH18 juil. 2020
Great course for sport fans who want to learn about sports analytics. But need to have extensive knowledge on game rules and specific terms for MLB, NFL, NBA
par FN19 oct. 2016
Great course! I suggest to everyone interested in sports analytics to do this course. It is difficult to find courses like this focused on sports analytics.
