Taylor & Francis Statistical Modelling and Sports Business
Book SynopsisThis book introduces predictive analytics in sports and discusses the relationship between analytics and algorithms and statistics. It defines sports data to be used and explains why the unique nature of sports would make analytics useful. The book also explains why the proper use of predictive analytics includes knowing what they are incapable of doing as well as the role of predictive analytics in the bigger picture of sports entrepreneurship, innovation, and technology. The book looks at the mathematical foundations that enhance technical knowledge of predictive models and illustrates through practical, insightful cases that will help to empower readers to build and deploy their own analytic methodologies.This book targets readers who already have working knowledge of location, dispersion, and distribution statistics, bivariate relationships (scatter plots and correlation coefficients), and statistical significance testing and is a reliable, well-rounded reference for furthering their knowledge of predictive analytics in sports.Trade Review"Digitization and the availability of new types of data are transforming the sports business. A book on data analytics in sports business is therefore much needed. Vanessa Ratten and Ted Hayduk have assembled a truly valuable collection of essays spanning a diverse range of domains within sports business and introducing several innovative statistical techniques that will enlighten both sport researchers and practitioners. A definite guide for the sports industry." ─ David Wagner, Professor of International Business & Digital Business, Academic Director, Master Sports Business & Communication, Munich Business School, Germany"Historically, decision-making in sport has been an irrational matter, one that has been based on gut instinct or feeling for a team or a particular sport. In the era when managing ‘big data’ may determine organisational performance, sport entities constitute these organisations that, perhaps, can benefit the most. This is thanks to the availability as well as the easiness to capture these data. As such, this is a timely text with very strong contributions. If sport is to move away from irrational decision making processes, then it is clear that Ratten and Hayduk's book must form a central part of our thinking about how sport is managed in a rational and more efficient fashion."─ Christos Anagnostopoulos, UCLan Cyprus & Molde University College, Norway"The book contains a range of interesting topics for academics and practitioners alike. By offering several case study chapters that showcase sports analytics in action, it guides researchers to the different methods and ways to examine sports business analytics. The book provides information on the contemporary issues that require addressing in the sector and examples of how to use analytics to answer these questions. Overall, the book will be a welcome addition to those who want to further improve their understanding of sports business via statistical analysis."─ Johan Rewilak, Aston University, UK"The book Statistical Modelling and Sports Business Analytics edited by Vanessa Ratten and Ted Hayduk provides an interesting collection of topics centered around the theme of how sport organizations can use data to generate insights. With the increase of data availability and sophistication in statistical modeling, the book is timely and relevant for sport managers interested in gaining competitive advantages through data. The book consists of 14 chapters written by contributors around the world, covering countries such as Australia, Germany, Kenya Poland, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, and the USA. The chapters cover a wide range of topics and statistical analyses. The book strikes a good balance between chapters that provide a broad overview of topics, such as an overview on big data and business intelligence or a prediction on how the future of sport data analytics looks, and chapters that investigate specific phenomena in the sport industry, such as using ordered logit regression analysis to examine the effects of penalties on the success of teams or identifying weight control behaviors of sport club members with a special focus on the role of gender and sexual minorities. Thus, readers gain a general understanding on the role of statistical modeling and data analytics and see its real-world application on a diverse range of specific topics within the sport industry." ─ Thilo Kunkel, Associate Professor, Temple University, USA "The book Statistical Modelling and Sports Business Analytics edited by Vanessa Ratten and Ted Hayduk is seminal and offers up-to date insights and applications of business analytics within sport management. The organizational environments and the marketplace have changed and more information and data are available through new technologies. Using business analytics can create competitive advantage for businesses as suggested in Chapter 1. Thus, educators need to train and set up future sport managers with an appropriate skill set that facilitates this competitive advantage on an individual level so that it can be transferred to an organizational level. The chapters in the book showcase the diversity of fields in which sport business analytics can be and should be employed; including, for instance, sport policy, sport marketing, sport finance, sport economics, and sport psychology. The book is a good starting point to create an analytic mindset." — Kirstin Hallmann, German Sport University Cologne, Germany"Analytics and statistical modelling are driving forces in the sport industry, and this book delivers both an excellent overview of data analytics and industry specific case studies which enforce statistical concepts. The collection of authors from across the world is a testament to how systematically this book seeks to survey analytics from international perspectives. The first chapter highlights the importance of statistical modelling both in the classroom and in practice and encourages educators to introduce quantitative techniques to develop more effective sport management practitioners. The subsequent chapters guide the reader through vital topics such as using quantitative data in sport and how to utilize social media marketing with analytics, and then employs these techniques in various sport industry case studies written by researchers who truly understand the connection between academia and industry. For those interested in educating practitioners, researchers, and students about analytics and statistical modelling in sport or learning these topics on their own will find this book timely and incredibly informative. I highly recommend this book because of the expertise of contributors and the range of topics which allow the reader the opportunity to develop a robust understanding of data analytics and statistical modelling in the sport industry." —Katie Brown, Texas Tech University, USATable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Twentyone Mental Models That Can Change Policing
Book SynopsisThis book goes beyond other police leadership books to teach practitioners how to think about policing in a structured way that synthesizes criminological theory, statistics, research design, applied research, and what works and what doesn't in policing into Mental Models. A Mental Model is a representation of how something works. Using a Mental Model framework to simplify complex concepts, readers will take away an in-depth understanding of how cognitive biases affect our ability to understand and interpret data, what empirical research says about effective police interventions, how statistical data should be structured for management meetings, and how to evaluate interventions for efficiency and effectiveness. While evidence-based practice is critical to advancing the police profession, it is limited in scope, and is only part of what is necessary to support sustainable change in policing. Policing requires a scientifically based framework to understand and iTrade Review"Complexity, wicked problems, big–data, and a growing body of police research are examples of what chief executives must understand in today’s contemporary policing environment to be successful. Mental models can aid in the decomposition of these complexities. Dr. Mitchell’s book is the first to amalgamate the concept of mental models and police decision-making by providing a critical thinking framework for police leaders to follow in a pragmatic, easy to follow format. Dr. Mitchell’s teachings will challenge the readers’ assumptions on how they make decisions. As police leaders, it is time we move the needle forward and examine how we make policy decisions in society’s name. This book is a bold step forward."Commander Chris G. Vallejo, Austin (TX) Police Department"Dr. Renee Mitchell does an outstanding job of discussing her unique approach to utilizing mental modeling to incorporate the use of data and research in the most important areas of the policing realm – making it easily digestible for every reader. As police administrators, we must ensure we are well-educated in the use of data in day-to-day decision-making. Renee outlines this process – utilizing her twenty-one mental models to help strengthen police leadership – in a simple yet progressive way. This is a must-read for every police leader!"Chief Ken Clary, Bellevue Nebraska Police Department"If there is one book on policing you should read it is this. It’s a well-worn phrase but seriously, all police leaders and commissioners SHOULD read this. Renee has taken the content of hundreds of insightful papers and books and distilled it into a relevant and page turning guide to policing. She highlight pitfalls and opportunities, all with the intention of improving the service we deliver. The problem with the Atlantic difference between the US and Europe means the continued reference to math instead of maths which will drive the European reader mad, but forgive the bad English and instead learn the lessons, some of which you already know and some you won’t. There are three things that stand out to me; its relevance, its objectivity and finally its writing style – the perfect fusion of an author that has her feet in the world of policing and academia. I know Renee, and I have to say she is slightly crazy – but nothing great ever comes from mediocrity and it takes someone like Renee to put together something as good as this. The timing is perfect; the erosion of trust meets the opportunity of empirical analysis. Renee quotes Ben Goldacre and I would do the same in motivating people to read this:'anyone who is going to trade in numbers, and use them, and think with them, and persuade with them, let alone lock people up with them, also has a responsibility to understand them’. This book enables us to start doing just that."Alex Murray, Commander Metropolitan Police Service Founder of the Society of Evidence-based Policing"Dr. Renee Mitchell expertly blends her academic insights with her wisdom gained through her career as a police officer to create this much-needed, easily accessible book. At a time when there is a historic focus on the role and actions of police in America, Dr. Mitchell distills how best to advance the profession in a simple, compelling framework: if you want to improve the way police act, you first must improve the way they think."Maureen McGough, Chief of Staff NYU School of Law Policing Project"This book forces the reader to challenge everything they thought they knew about policing. Have we really been asking the wrong questions? Have we incorrectly defined the problem? Renee offers an insight only gained from experiencing policing as a cop, an academic, and as a champion of evidence-based policing." Josh Young, Deputy Senior Vice President of Justice Initiatives Center for Policing Equity "Using robust evidence to enable operational and strategic decision making is a fundamental component of modern policing, this book guides and supports police practitioners through some of the challenges and significant opportunities that various disciplines of science presents for policing, including the Mental Model focusing on Evidence Based Policing which is my favourite. A fantastic read for inquisitive minds". Superintendent Bruce O’ Brien, Director of Evidence Based Policing New Zealand Police"Overall, Mitchell should be praised for assembling so much important information on data, evidence, and policing in one place. Those who are new to evidence-informed policing will find this book an excellent introduction to the subject, and even a relatively informed reader will come away with new bits of information and new ways of understanding information they may have had already. I certainly did. We need more pracademics like Mitchell. Evidence is available to guide police leaders, but often it is inaccessible, hidden behind paywalls, spread over thousands of articles, and written in language that is difficult for non-academics to understand. Even with evidence in hand, success in the field also depends on sound implementation, carefully translating lessons learned from rigorous research into practice. Pracademics act as translators, facilitators, even ambassadors, playing key roles in the research-to-practice pipeline. They help ensure that knowledge intended to inform policy does just that. In today’s hyper-partisan political debate over policing, policymakers are often presented with binary choices that are informed mostly by ideology: either #BlackLivesMatter or #BlueLivesMatter, for instance. The need for public decision-making informed by reliable data and rigorous evidence, and not driven by hashtags, is stronger than ever."Thomas Abt, Senior Fellow at the Council on Criminal Justice, in Cambridge Journal of Evidence-Based Policing 6:1-2 (June 2022)Table of ContentsIntroduction: What is a Mental Model and How Does It Help Policing; PART I: How We Think; Mental Model #1: System 1 and 2; Mental Model #2: Cognitive Bias; Mental Model #3: First Principles Thinking; The Mental Models in Practice I: Mental Models 1-3; Part II: How We Think About Math; Mental Model #4: False Linear Thinking; Mental Model #5: Binary Percent Changes; Mental Model #6: Second Order Thinking; The Mental Models in Practice II: Mental Models 4-6; PART III: How Things Concentrate; Mental Model #7: Pareto Principle; Mental Model #8: The Law of Crime concentration; Mental Model #9: Felonious Few; The Mental Models in Practice III: Mental Models 7-9; PART IV: How Things Vary; Mental Model #10: Distributions; Mental Model #11: Law of Large numbers; Mental Model #12: Regression to the Mean; The Mental Models in Practice IV: Mental Models 10-12; PART V: How to Determine Causality; Mental Model #13: Correlation is not Causation; Mental Model #14: Causal Inference; Mental Model #15: Bayesian (Probabilistic) Reasoning; The Mental Models in Practice V: Mental Models 13-15; Part VI: How to Think Scientifically; Mental Model #16: Peer Review Your Perspectives; Mental Model #17: The Scientific Method; Mental Model #18: Evidence-based Practices; The Mental Models in Practice VI: Mental Models 16-18; PART VII: How to Make Decisions; Mental Model #19: Targeting, Testing, and Tracking; Mental Model #20: Harm Indexes; Mental Model #21: Decision-making Models; The Mental Models in Practice VII: Mental Models 19-21; PART VIII: How to Apply it All; Conclusion: How the Twenty-one Mental Models Can Improve Policing and Reduce Cognitive Bias; Mental Model Method: How it all Fits Together Mental Models 1-21; Notes
