This was my capstone project for my Math major. It was a very cool project I got to make that intersected my interests of sports, math, computer science and data science.

What I Created

For this project I wanted to look at if there was a correlation between player interactions and success of players. I ended up using this data set here. It was an awesome data set from a Kaggle/NFL competition that gave me a lot of freedom in what I wished to create.

Once I had the data, I created Python code to clean and standarize my data into usable CSV’s. After this I did some network visualizations in Gephi, as well as some player comparisons in RStudio.

Everything that I used is downloadable in my Repo, see below.

My Repo

Lastly, I wanted to attach the link to my repo of the project. Just in case you would like to take a peak at the specific code I am running.
