Abstract

The purpose of this research was to analyse changes in performance through data simulation. Machine learning has been a popular tool for prediction in the NBA. What we wanted to see how a change in performance is affected in actual points. When a club improves its game, or when a club underperforms what that means as points. Through a points-prediction simulation, we analysed how a change in performance of 1–3% will affect the top five–performing and worst performing clubs.
