To Turf or Not to Turf, That is the Question [Part 1]
By Mladen Jovanovic on 05/07/2017In this video I am presenting my “solution” to the problem and provide fake data set, as well as R code for analyzing the data. Having decent predictive model can help us run different optimization algorithms to find the “best” scheduling to minimize/maximize injury risk or performance.

By Mladen Jovanovic on 13/03/2017The Netflix Prize was an open competition for the best collaborative filtering algorithm to predict user ratings for films, based on previous ratings without any other information about the users or films, i.e. without the users or the films being identified except by numbers assigned for the contest. Which made me think – why don’t the “rich” clubs, such...

Thoughts on Injury Prediction
By Mladen Jovanovic on 08/12/2016In the following article, I am discussing the famous “J” curve in injury prediction, as well as simulate some data to show how that curve is estimated. I also show the distinction between association and prediction, as well as how to make training decisions based on the different costs of committing false positive and false negative errors.

Masked Relationships and Multicollinearity
By Mladen Jovanovic on 04/05/2016In this video and R workbook I am “playing” with linear regression and I am trying to explain the concept of “controlling” for one variable (this is common in statistics, but I had hard time understanding it until I visualized the problem), masked relationships and multicollinearity.
