Presentation Slides for my presentation at GIS Ireland, October 14th 2010. The title is "GIS Software for Non-GIS Applications".
The case study is how to use FME to predict the outcome of football matches across Europe each week.
This document provides guidance on how to analyze a soccer match by looking at various elements of team structure, tactics, tendencies, and key players on both sides of the ball. It outlines things to observe such as formations, roles of midfielders and defenders, attacking and passing patterns, set pieces, pressing strategies, and how a team's approach may change based on the score, time remaining, or other in-game factors. The level of detail in the analysis can help high-level coaches better understand the opponent and make appropriate adjustments to their own tactics.
Diets are ineffective for long-term weight loss and can lead to weight gain over time, as they are "quick fixes" that cause fluctuations and strain on the body; instead, one should focus on lifestyle changes like eating healthier foods in moderation and becoming more active, which allows for permanent fat loss and fitness without expensive programs or dieting.
This document discusses effective strategies for working with parents. It begins with an introduction to the project team and Gantt chart laying out the project timeline. It then reviews literature highlighting the importance of parent involvement and challenges to achieving effective parent-teacher relationships. A needs assessment survey found the main reasons for ineffective relationships were issues with teachers, parents, and the school system. Recommendations include early contact with parents through letters, phone calls, and home visits to build positive relationships and maintain open communication. Effective parent conferences also focus on student strengths and specific academic/behavioral goals.

This document discusses strategies to promote world peace through education proposed by the Peace Pals group of City Montessori School in Lucknow, India. It identifies the main problem as the inability of the current education system to build bridges of unity and peace. Through surveys and analysis, the group found the root causes to be a lack of moral/divine inputs, innovative approaches, global understanding, and interaction with information technology. The strategies proposed include promoting universal values, global understanding and service through activities like seminars, camps, and technology to help develop students and society as conscious global citizens dedicated to peace.
Creating Positive Peer Relationships
The document discusses the importance of creating positive peer relationships in the classroom. It provides several recommended activities teachers can implement to help students get to know each other better through "acquaintance activities", establish a cohesive learning community through group bonding activities, and enhance diverse friendship patterns. Examples of activities provided include name games, interviews, secret gift exchanges, and initiatives to recognize positive student behaviors. Fostering positive relationships is important for student engagement, academic performance, and developing social-emotional skills.
The document discusses various technologies and appliances and how they impact the person's life. It mentions that while the person could live without a dishwasher, washing machine, coffeemaker, television, fridge, mobile phone, and laptop, it would not be the same level of convenience and comfort without them. The dishwasher lets the person rest after meals. The washing machine is described as the most practical invention. A coffeemaker ensures a good cup of coffee. Television provides entertainment, while the fridge allows for chilled drinks in the summer. The mobile phone and laptop help the person stay informed and connected.
This document summarizes a statistical model to predict results of Euro 2016 qualifiers using multivariate regression. The model examines individual player performance data from club matches to predict national team match outcomes.

My Entry to the Sportsbet/CIKM competitionSimone Romano
The Sportsbet/CIKM competition (http://sportsbetcikm15.com) is a data mining and machine learning challenge: use data about Australian Football League (AFL) matches already played to predict future ones. These slides are related to the entry I submitted to the competition.
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.

2. Introduction Overview : What am I actually speaking about?!?! Imagination meets GIS meets FME Case Study : FME versus The Bookmaker! The FME Workspace Publishing My Results
4. FME, My Weapon of Choice FME (SAFE Software) : Can read/write 250+ Formats Many are database/spreadsheet www.safe.com SAFE Software Management Systems : CRM and Support Ticketing System FME was used to migrate between from old ticketing systems to new systems No GIS Component in these projects!
5. Meet Michael Habarta… FME Guru, based in Germany http://www.fmepedia.com/index.php/User:Mhabarta He has used FME for a variety of alternative applications: Creating Polyphonic Ringtones Updating an MP3 player Audiobook of The Bible Understanding Pythagorus Understanding Stonehenge
13. Typical Weekend Fixture List Case Study 77 Games across 9 divisions
14. Typical Weekend Fixture List Case Study 77 Games across 9 divisions Another 50+ matches across other European Leagues
15. Typical Weekend Fixture List Case Study 77 Games across 9 divisions Another 50+ matches across other European Leagues Takes approx. 3 hours to analyze UK fixtures based on multiple statistical criteria
16. Typical Weekend Fixture List Case Study 77 Games across 9 divisions Another 50+ matches across other European Leagues Takes approx. 3 hours to analyze UK fixtures based on multiple statistical criteria Another 2-3 hours to analyze European matches
17. Statistical Criteria: Case Study Compare League Positions Home vs. Away Current Form – Last 5 league games Non-Statistical Criteria: Club Turmoil! Injuries Transfers In/Out Rivalry & Derbies
18. How can FME help out? Great statistical functions in FME Possible for FME to read Historical Football Results (CSV/XLS) Future Football Fixtures (CSV/XLS) Analyze the relationship of teams who are playing each other The aim is to reduce the 5-6 hours research down to 5-6 minutes using FME and some good football data…
20. Fixture Data is downloaded in CSV/XLS Formats Includes League, Date, Teams and the best Odds!
21. Results Data is downloaded for 22 leagues across Europe Includes League, Date, Teams, Goals, Referee, Shots, etc
22. Project History FME Prototype built in March 2010 Basically compared league positions Invested €20 for 10 weeks of season Result: €75 profit during this time Excellent form guide and trends available (August-March results) 2010-2011 Football Season be difficult in early stages No trends or previous results to go on Erratic League (Blackpool in The Top Four!?!)
24. The season so far… More Criteria Used Create a League Table Recent Form (Previous 6 Matches) Best Odds available Can Location / GI Data help anywhere?!? In 99% of cases there is a spatial element to data Early Form so far (Sept.- Oct. 2010) Invested €30 Currently down €5.50 Famous last words… “Its early days…”
25. The FME Workspace Firstly, a Python Script is used to go onto the web to automatically download the CSV and XLS data Secondly, a detailed workspace is run to analyze the data Fixtures and Results Thirdly, filter out the “Good options” and output the results as a webpage, an excel spreadsheet and an email
28. Team Goals < Opposition Goals = 0Add all these up and FME is now storing a league table Use the “Counter” transformer to add 1-20 based on current position
29. FME : Compare who is playing who? Analyse the teams who are playing: Pass through any matches where the league position is very big 20 Teams in Premier League Home Team (2) vs. Away Team (19) – PASS Home Team (8) vs. Away Team (11) – FAIL Set separate thresholds in FME for Home or Away Predicitons: Home Team (4) vs. Away Team (19) – PASS Home Team (19) vs. Away Team (4) – FAIL
30. FME : Analyze Current Form A team may be on a slump (due to injuries, turmoil, suspensions, etc.) Analyze most recent games for better indication of current form Home (8, WWwdw) vs. Away (15, lLLdL) – PASS Home (8, LlwdL) vs. Away (15, WdWdL) – FAIL Use separate thresholds for FME to recognise good/bad current form: Undefeated in last 5 is good and will Pass 2 defeats or more is an automatic Fail
31. FME : Progress Report Statistical Criteria: Compare League Positions Home vs. Away Current Form – Last 5 games PASS PASS PASS Non-Statistical Criteria: Club Turmoil! Injuries Transfers In/Out Rivalry & Derbies Part of Current Form Algorithm Part of Current Form Algorithm Part of Current Form Algorithm FAIL
36. Publishing the Results www.BrendanCunningham.com Wordpress Blog FME automatically writes valid HTML from the workspace into an Email FME Batch File kicks off every Tuesday and Wednesday and sends me a mail! Copy and Paste into blog, and offer some notes and advice In some cases I won’t go with results The “Blackpool Factor” will be used
37. The Verdict Model hard to use so early in the football season (only 9 matches) The model becomes more reliable as more games are played Not really a “Predictor” More so an “event filter” If certain criteria are met then they are passed though – this is not predicting! A great time saver, potentially make a few quid over time! Don’t give up the day job though…
38. FME : Live Demo Use this week’s fixtures and league tables to run the workspace Data will be downloaded on the fly from www.football-data.co.uk (WiFi permitting!) All Analysis is carried out in FME Results output on C: drive: Text File of Predictions Text File of HTML code for the blog XLS of Best Odds Another Python script is run to email results I manually analyze the results for 5-6 minutes and update the blog from there!
