The document analyzes whether higher payroll leads to higher win percentages in sports by looking at data from baseball in 2012 and 2015 and football from 1995 to 2016. The data, presented in scatterplots, shows no clear correlation between payroll and wins, as success varied across teams with different salary levels. While conventional wisdom associates financial spending with success, the statistics and facts from these leagues provide evidence that higher payrolls do not necessarily buy championships or determine win rates.

Are the best football nations the richest?
The document discusses whether the best footballing nations are also the richest nations. It has students analyze scatterplots comparing GDP to football success to determine if there is a correlation. While wealth may contribute to success, other factors like population size and footballing culture are also important in determining a nation's skill level, so the relationships are complex with no single determining factor.
Gwinnett County Real Estate Market Report 3 09
The real estate market report for Gwinnett County in January and February 2009 showed:
1) Home sales were down compared to previous years, with 370 homes sold in January and an estimated 450 in February.
2) Average days on the market remained high at over 100 days.
3) Inventory levels remained well above balanced levels, indicating continued weakness in the housing market.
4) The ratio of new listings to sales remained low, under 30%, suggesting that homes were not being priced attractively for buyers.
5) Average home prices continued to decline year-over-year, dipping below $181,000.
6) The conclusion was that the housing market remained weak and a recovery was
Final Research Paper
- The paper examines the relationship between team payroll and success in Major League Baseball from 2011-2015. It builds on previous studies that found a weak positive relationship.
- The empirical model finds no statistically significant relationship between payroll and wins. However, it does find that earned run average and runs scored have strong relationships with wins, while stolen bases has a weak negative relationship.
- Playing in the American League is associated with more wins, likely due to the designated hitter position. Overall, the results do not support the hypothesis that increased payroll leads to more wins in MLB.

This document discusses competitive balance in sports leagues. It begins by defining competitive balance and listing learning objectives about understanding why balance is important, measures of balance, and tools leagues use to promote balance. It then covers fans' and owners' perspectives on balance, how market size can impact balance, measures of within-season and between-season balance, and policies leagues use such as revenue sharing and salary caps to promote competitive balance.
Predicting Salary for MLB Players
This paper examines the relationship between MLB players' salaries and various performance statistics from the 2013 season. The authors regress salary data against age, games played, home runs, slugging percentage, hits, at bats, and on-base percentage for 447 players after removing pitchers. Their model explains 51.39% of salary variation, suggesting these statistics significantly influence pay. Home runs, hits, at bats, and on-base percentage positively impact salary, while slugging percentage has a negative effect. The paper concludes player salaries can be reasonably predicted using performance data.
Econometrics Paper
This document is a student paper that analyzes whether professional baseball team payrolls are linked to on-field performance. The student will create an econometric model using data on all 30 MLB teams from 2000-2015. Previous research has found mixed results on the relationship between market size and payroll. The student hypothesizes that controlling for market size is important. Descriptive statistics are provided on the key variables of logged and inflation-adjusted team payrolls and wins. The analysis will test whether factors like wins are correlated with higher payrolls.
Brewers Regression ECN
The document summarizes a regression analysis performed to determine factors influencing attendance at Milwaukee Brewers games in 2010. Key factors found to significantly impact attendance included whether the game was on a weekend (positively), in the evening (negatively), if the opponent made the postseason in 2009 (positively), how many games the Brewers trailed in their division (negatively), the opponent's winning percentage (negatively), and whether promotional activities were occurring (negatively). The analysis explained around 55% of attendance variation, indicating additional influential variables remained unaccounted for.

NBA Salary Discrimination Paper
This paper explores potential salary discrimination against foreign-born players in the NBA. The author will analyze salary data from the 2014-2015 season using linear regression models. The models will examine if nationality influences salary, while controlling for productivity, experience, height, and continent of origin. Past studies on discrimination in the NBA and other professional sports leagues have found mixed results. Understanding discrimination in the NBA labor market could provide insights into biases in U.S. labor markets more broadly.

Purpose statement and model
This study will try to examine whether there is a relationship between the payment and performance of a team. Performance is the dependent variable measured by wins of a team in the 2010 Major League Baseball (Tao Y. et al, 2016). This is the suitable dependent variable since the wins for a team can be influenced by many factors and the final results are the main target of every team (Scully G., 1974). The primary independent variable is payroll which the totals pay of the team (Wiseman F. & Chatterjee S., 2003). This is suitable in determining whether there is relationship between pay and performance due to the fact that a higher anticipates higher performance since many challenges for the team can be solved by financial stability (Sommers P. & Quinton N., 1982).
The general form of the model will be;
Wins = b0 + b1Payroll + b2Attendance + Error (
Definitions of variables
The variables used in this study are wins, payroll and attendance. Win is the dependent variable measuring the number of games the team wins. I ...

Kerber_NBA_Analysis
This document provides an introduction and literature review for a study examining the relationship between NBA player productivity, salary, and market factors. The introduction outlines the financial success of the NBA and discusses the league's salary structures. The literature review summarizes previous research finding scoring to be significantly correlated with higher salaries, while rebounds and steals do not impact pay as much. The study aims to identify which stats influence salary by analyzing players' per-minute productivity stats and demographics.
InstructionsCongratulations. You are a finalist in for a data a.docx
Instructions:
Congratulations. You are a finalist in for a data analyst position for a Major League Baseball (MLB) team. As you prepare for the final round of interviews, you've been asked to use the above data set to create a series of analytics / dashboards to help show how well the team is doing in two important KPIs: home-game attendance and salaries.
Within the MLB, the San Francisco Giants are in the:
League = National League
Division = West (W) Division
The intended audience for this dashboard is the Director of Analytics.
Limitations: Clearly this project is limited in terms of scope of data. In the real world setting there would be ticket sales, customer demographic information, television viewership ratings, social media mentions / hits, and a whole host of additional data to churn through. But (realistically) like any project, it's good to start with a piece of the puzzle at a time, and in sequence. So consider this an initial step in what could be a much larger project.
Two files are needed for this submission: Your Power BI dashboard file and the answers to the questions below (in a Word document).
Broadly speaking this project's learning outcomes include:
· Assigning KPIs
· Trend analysis
· Comparative analysis
· Creating columns and measures
· Creating relationships between multiple data sources
· Creating the best visualization to appropriately show the data
Hint: Use the TeamsMostRecent table as your centralized table that all others are related to (connected with). But only connect Salaries to Team_Statistics and Team_Statistics to TeamsMostRecent as you don't want to have unnecessary relationships that will cause a circular logic in your design.
Hint2: you will need to create a new column to join the Salaries and Team_statistics tables together. What 2 (or more fields) create a unique identifier for each individual row that exists in both of these tables? You will need to use this field to join these tables together.
Analytics portion:
1. Get a sense of the data to start. Create a matrix that has every ball club, each year (2006-2014) and total games played. This will allow you to see if there are any significant gaps in the data. Are there? Explain.
2. a. Choose the most appropriate visualization to show the total attendance for the team from 2006 - 2014. What's their trend? b. Choose the most appropriate visualization to show the total attendance for each year and each club in their division attendance for 2006 - 2014. What is the trend for the team? Which team came closest to surpassing them in attendance and in what year? c. Choose the most appropriate visualization to show how the team's attendance average (combined for all years, 06-14) compares with the attendance average of all other teams in the League. Sort by average attendance in descending order (Most to Least). How are they ranked? Overall is their attendance numbers considered "good" or "bad"? How do you know?
3. Plot all stadium addresses on a map.
MLS Pwrpt
The document discusses several studies that examined the impact of high-salaried designated players in MLS. Some of the key findings include:
1) Spending more money on player salaries did not necessarily lead to better competitive results for MLS teams according to a 2011-2012 study and a 2015 update.
2) Salary inequality among MLS players grew between 2011-2015 according to the Gini coefficient measure, indicating a few players received a larger share of total salaries.
3) High-profile designated players like David Beckham helped increase MLS ticket sales and jersey sales, demonstrating their off-the-field commercial impact for the league.
A Test For Salary Discrimination
This document summarizes a research paper on salary discrimination in Major League Baseball. The paper analyzed salary and performance statistics from 100 MLB players in 2015-2016 to determine if there was discrimination against non-white players. A regression analysis found that most performance metrics like hits and home runs were fairly valued in salaries, but stolen bases may be undervalued, which could disadvantage non-white players who tend to have more stolen bases. The document provides background on MLB's history of discrimination and changes to its racial composition over time. It also reviews the literature on analyzing discrimination through statistical analysis of salaries and performance metrics.

The document analyzes the relationship between home runs hit and player salary before, during, and after Major League Baseball's steroid era from the late 1980s to late 2000s. It uses regression analysis to examine how home runs impacted salary in 1990 (pre-steroid era), 2000 (steroid era peak), and 2010 (post-steroid era). It hypothesizes that home runs had the greatest positive effect on salary during the steroid era when offensive stats were inflated. Key independent variables are home runs, team performance and attendance, and individual batting stats. Dependent variable is player salary adjusted for inflation.

Quantitative AnalysisEmployee salary data shows a bimodal distri.docx
Quantitative Analysis
Employee salary data shows a bimodal distribution, with a significant number employees (76) having a salary of between $31,000 and $40,000, while another equally large share of employees (75) having a salary of between $51,000 and $60,000. The company has also experienced a positve growth in sales revenue over the years. Precisely, the company has achived a 276% average percentage growth in sales between 2002 and 2015. While the mode years of service in the company is 16 years with a large share of employees working in the company for an average of only 7 years and a standard deviation of 4 years. In addition, majority of the employees (80.65%) are males. Also there are more caucasian employees (227) with most of the employees (68.28%) being married.
These results suggest that there is a reasonable promotion rate within the company as many employees earn salary in the middle-range. With a consistently large average percentage growth in sales over the years, it is expected that the sales revenue in 2016 and 2017 will continue to increase despite a decrease in 2015. Moreover, there is reason to believe that most of the workforce is not vested in the company. In conjuction to this, there is significant gender and racial imbalance in the workforce, which is contrary to the company's goal of ensuring a diversifiedworkforce. Hence, should consider hiring more females than males as well as more Hispanians, African-Americans and Asians as it creates more positions to keep up with demand.
In order to investigate further whether these quantitave results are good or bad for the company, a qualitative analysis may be conducted. In a qualitative analysis, structured interviews with key personnel in the company as well as focused group discussions with the employees, may help yield additional information. These additional information may support the results of the quantitaive analysis especially on issues to deal with salary and job promotion expectations amongst employees. Furthermore, it may also give employee perceptions on the gender and racial distribution of the workforce.

Identifying Key Factors in Winning MLB Games Using a Data-Mining Approach
This document provides an abstract and introduction for a term project report that aims to predict MLB team wins using data mining techniques applied to basic team batting, pitching, and fielding statistics. The researchers want to determine which statistics are most important for winning games and if there are differences between batting, pitching, and fielding. They use data from 2009-2018 and apply artificial neural networks, support vector machines, linear regression, and automatic linear models to obtain results. The introduction provides background on the importance of wins in MLB and reviews several relevant previous studies on predicting wins, the impact of statistics on scoring and preventing runs, and the effect of age on player performance.

GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

As you prepare for the final round of interviews, you've been asked to use the above data set to create a series of analytics / dashboards to help show how well the team is doing in two important KPIs: home-game attendance and salaries.
Within the MLB, the San Francisco Giants are in the:
League = National League
Division = West (W) Division
The intended audience for this dashboard is the Director of Analytics.
Limitations: Clearly this project is limited in terms of scope of data. In the real world setting there would be ticket sales, customer demographic information, television viewership ratings, social media mentions / hits, and a whole host of additional data to churn through. But (realistically) like any project, it's good to start with a piece of the puzzle at a time, and in sequence. So consider this an initial step in what could be a much larger project.
Two files are needed for this submission: Your Power BI dashboard file and the answers to the questions below (in a Word document).
Broadly speaking this project's learning outcomes include:
· Assigning KPIs
· Trend analysis
· Comparative analysis
· Creating columns and measures
· Creating relationships between multiple data sources
· Creating the best visualization to appropriately show the data
Hint: Use the TeamsMostRecent table as your centralized table that all others are related to (connected with). But only connect Salaries to Team_Statistics and Team_Statistics to TeamsMostRecent as you don't want to have unnecessary relationships that will cause a circular logic in your design.
Hint2: you will need to create a new column to join the Salaries and Team_statistics tables together. What 2 (or more fields) create a unique identifier for each individual row that exists in both of these tables? You will need to use this field to join these tables together.
Analytics portion:
1. Get a sense of the data to start. Create a matrix that has every ball club, each year (2006-2014) and total games played. This will allow you to see if there are any significant gaps in the data. Are there? Explain.
2. a. Choose the most appropriate visualization to show the total attendance for the team from 2006 - 2014. What's their trend? b. Choose the most appropriate visualization to show the total attendance for each year and each club in their division attendance for 2006 - 2014. What is the trend for the team? Which team came closest to surpassing them in attendance and in what year? c. Choose the most appropriate visualization to show how the team's attendance average (combined for all years, 06-14) compares with the attendance average of all other teams in the League. Sort by average attendance in descending order (Most to Least). How are they ranked? Overall is their attendance numbers considered "good" or "bad"? How do you know?
3. Plot all stadium addresses on a map.
MLS Pwrpt
The document discusses several studies that examined the impact of high-salaried designated players in MLS. Some of the key findings include:
1) Spending more money on player salaries did not necessarily lead to better competitive results for MLS teams according to a 2011-2012 study and a 2015 update.
2) Salary inequality among MLS players grew between 2011-2015 according to the Gini coefficient measure, indicating a few players received a larger share of total salaries.
3) High-profile designated players like David Beckham helped increase MLS ticket sales and jersey sales, demonstrating their off-the-field commercial impact for the league.
A Test For Salary Discrimination
This document summarizes a research paper on salary discrimination in Major League Baseball. The paper analyzed salary and performance statistics from 100 MLB players in 2015-2016 to determine if there was discrimination against non-white players. A regression analysis found that most performance metrics like hits and home runs were fairly valued in salaries, but stolen bases may be undervalued, which could disadvantage non-white players who tend to have more stolen bases. The document provides background on MLB's history of discrimination and changes to its racial composition over time. It also reviews the literature on analyzing discrimination through statistical analysis of salaries and performance metrics.

FP FINAL ECON 407
The document analyzes the relationship between home runs hit and player salary before, during, and after Major League Baseball's steroid era from the late 1980s to late 2000s. It uses regression analysis to examine how home runs impacted salary in 1990 (pre-steroid era), 2000 (steroid era peak), and 2010 (post-steroid era). It hypothesizes that home runs had the greatest positive effect on salary during the steroid era when offensive stats were inflated. Key independent variables are home runs, team performance and attendance, and individual batting stats. Dependent variable is player salary adjusted for inflation.

Quantitative AnalysisEmployee salary data shows a bimodal distri.docx
Quantitative Analysis
Employee salary data shows a bimodal distribution, with a significant number employees (76) having a salary of between $31,000 and $40,000, while another equally large share of employees (75) having a salary of between $51,000 and $60,000. The company has also experienced a positve growth in sales revenue over the years. Precisely, the company has achived a 276% average percentage growth in sales between 2002 and 2015. While the mode years of service in the company is 16 years with a large share of employees working in the company for an average of only 7 years and a standard deviation of 4 years. In addition, majority of the employees (80.65%) are males. Also there are more caucasian employees (227) with most of the employees (68.28%) being married.
These results suggest that there is a reasonable promotion rate within the company as many employees earn salary in the middle-range. With a consistently large average percentage growth in sales over the years, it is expected that the sales revenue in 2016 and 2017 will continue to increase despite a decrease in 2015. Moreover, there is reason to believe that most of the workforce is not vested in the company. In conjuction to this, there is significant gender and racial imbalance in the workforce, which is contrary to the company's goal of ensuring a diversifiedworkforce. Hence, should consider hiring more females than males as well as more Hispanians, African-Americans and Asians as it creates more positions to keep up with demand.
In order to investigate further whether these quantitave results are good or bad for the company, a qualitative analysis may be conducted. In a qualitative analysis, structured interviews with key personnel in the company as well as focused group discussions with the employees, may help yield additional information. These additional information may support the results of the quantitaive analysis especially on issues to deal with salary and job promotion expectations amongst employees. Furthermore, it may also give employee perceptions on the gender and racial distribution of the workforce.

Identifying Key Factors in Winning MLB Games Using a Data-Mining Approach
This document provides an abstract and introduction for a term project report that aims to predict MLB team wins using data mining techniques applied to basic team batting, pitching, and fielding statistics. The researchers want to determine which statistics are most important for winning games and if there are differences between batting, pitching, and fielding. They use data from 2009-2018 and apply artificial neural networks, support vector machines, linear regression, and automatic linear models to obtain results. The introduction provides background on the importance of wins in MLB and reviews several relevant previous studies on predicting wins, the impact of statistics on scoring and preventing runs, and the effect of age on player performance.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Payroll versus win percentage in sports
- 1. Payroll Versus Win Percentage in sports By: Joseph Rantuccio
- 2. Does payroll truly affect Win percentage? • People typically associate good sports teams with how much the organization is spending. But is this actually true? • Today, we see many different underdogs sporting the reign of champion in many different leagues. • Are these underdog teams spending as much on payroll as other teams expected to take the title?
- 3. Data • To explore this interesting topic, I had to collect data from multiple sources: Relative Football Team salaries (1995-2016) Relative win percentage of Football Teams (1995-2016) Payroll of Baseball Teams (2012 & 2015) Win percentage of Baseball teams (2012 & 2015)
- 4. Closer look at the Data: 2012 Baseball Payroll vs Wins • This scatterplot shows the number of wins baseball teams in 2012 had compared to their payroll in millions. • The results clearly vary.
- 5. Closer look at the Data: 2015 Baseball Payroll vs Wins • This scatterplot shows the number of wins baseball teams in 2015 had compared to their payroll in millions. • Again the results are clearly show no distinct correlation.
- 6. Closer look at the Data: 1995-2016 Football Salaries vs Win Rate. • To further the research, I took a look at big data and Football teams. • This scatterplot shows a relative average salary in Football from 1995-2016 compared to the winning percentage of the teams. • Again, no strong correlation between the two.
- 7. In Conclusion • Looking at the mass amount of data offered for sports teams shows that there is no true correlation between salary and win rate. • The controversy is ever expanding claiming the teams with higher salary caps, simply are impossible to beat. • This misguided opinion can quickly be disproven by looking at the facts and statistics readily available to everyone.
