Sports prediction has become more interesting especially in the era of statistical information about the sport, players, teams and seasons are readily available. Sport analysts have opted out in their traditional ways of analyzing sport events and tends to leverage on the advantages of sports data; this enables more realistic analysis beyond sentiments. However, football game was considered in this research. Data from Nigerian Professional Football League (NPLF) was used to predict result based on different conditions such as home win, draw and away win of teams in the league. Machine Learning, k-Nearest Neighbor and mathematical Poisson distribution algorithm was hybridized using data mining tools together with Anaconda packages. The model accuracy was compared with other online bookmarkers, and it yielded 93.33% accuracy which will be helpful in making substantial profits in within the economy through the betting industries. This model is practically based on the home and away matches coupled with historical trends of goals scored and winning of previous matches, by implication, Nigerian football league will be more enhanced to catch up with their international counterparts and the players tends to get more feasibility from match result predictions for international participation and employment opportunities.

The document discusses how mathematical models are used to predict football match outcomes in both academia and the gambling industry. It notes that while academics use models to test theories of market efficiency, the best performing models are proprietary to bookmakers who rely on accurate predictions to set odds. The author then describes building their own ordered probit model to predict match results based on factors like home field advantage, team rankings, and past performance weighted by opposition strength. The model was tested on almost 9,000 international matches.

FMP - 3. Research

Daniel Corr

Based on the audience research: - Your target audience is primarily younger people aged 16-23. Your game should appeal to this demographic through an engaging story, customizable characters, and gameplay that is fun and not too complex. - The audience leans slightly more male, but both genders are represented. Be sure to include options to customize both male and female characters. - Since the audience plays games for a few hours per day, design the game to be engaging enough to hold their attention for extended play sessions. - They enjoy a variety of genres, including adventure and shooters. Incorporate elements of these popular genres, such as exploration, progression, combat/skill challenges, and narrative/story elements.

Digital Sport Summit

Fantasy sports allow participants to act as virtual coaches and team owners, competing based on real player statistics. Originating in the 1940s-60s, fantasy sports grew popular online in the 1990s. In Australia, fantasy sports were popularized in print in 1991 and online by Vapormedia in the early 2000s. Today, over 1 million Australians play fantasy sports annually, with 65% playing AFL fantasy games. Fantasy sports provide entertainment and engagement for fans by allowing them to socially interact and discuss sports. The future of fantasy sports involves deeper social media integration and a focus on community and content to further fan interaction.

Big Data Week

Ten years ago there were rumours of the death of causal inference. Big data was supposed to enable us to rely on purely correlational data to predict and control the world. In this talk, I argue that the rumours were strongly exaggerated. Causal inference is becoming increasingly relevant thanks to improvements in inference methods and–ironically–the availability of data. Far from becoming marginalised, causal inference is today more relevant than it’s ever been.

As far as data is concerned, Pharmaceutical Companies have always been clear-sighted and assertive on what insights to get from it, how, and what to do about it. And then the Big Data Era came in, with its frantic pace, transforming multiple industries all around but, for a number of reasons (privacy and data protection issues on top but not alone) keeping the Pharma Industry behind. How to run the extra mile to keep up with the powerful changes Big Data brings along has become a major concern. Strategic opportunities seem to be around the corner. Is the time to bridge gaps finally here?

Hello London, the ground-breaking media partnership between Transport for London (TfL) and Exterion Media, gives new opportunities for brands to talk to the London audience in innovative ways and generates vital revenue for London’s transport network. TfL and Exterion have been working together in the Hello London partnership for a year. Part of the collaboration was around the utilisation of data collected by TfL to better inform advertising investment decisions. This has led to ground-breaking work in the Out-of-Home advertising sector and the first example of this is Taps Segmentation. Developed by the TfL Data Science team, it allows Exterion to understand demographic patterns at stations based on aggregated contactless and Oyster card usage. This de-personalised data can be analysed for different times of the day and is a game changer – allowing Exterion to rethink how both their classic and digital inventory can be packaged and tailored specifically for clients. The presentation will cover how TfL and Exterion have collaborated, the approach used by TfL and how Exterion are using it to generate revenue which is reinvested in the transport network.

The document discusses some of the risks associated with big data, including the risk of data breaches getting more costly as data volumes and repositories increase. It notes that smaller breaches involving 10,000 to 100,000 records on average cost hundreds per record, while mega-breaches of millions of records can cost billions and be in the range of pounds per record. The main sources of risk are identified as user error, system glitches, and attacks, with malicious attacks being the costliest. It provides some recommendations around applying security controls like access management and automation while also considering dependencies and maintaining good data hygiene.

A whole raft of new capital charges and constraints on liquidity and leverage have been introduced: Basel II.5, Basel III, Dodd-Frank, FRTB (“Basel IV”), etc. These have significantly increased the risk data management capabilities banks must have—capabilities that only big data tools can provide. This talk will cover the challenges of building a position-aware risk management platform that properly aggregates all intra-day trading activity, monitors exposures and risk. The fast data stack can help banks create such a platform and provide a robust foundation to achieve compliance and, ultimately a significant competitive edge by making efficient use of capital.
