Abstract: The how of what makes great athletes great is one of the major topics of sports analytics research. Value attribution is a fundamental tool for quantifying the specific actions and skills that improve outcomes in sport. With the growth in spatial temporal data in high-performance sport, methods for value attribution are becoming increasingly granular and sophisticated. In this talk, I will review several common types of model-based methods for value attribution and present applications in multiple pro sports.
