I almost posted this as a thread the other day but think it has a good place here. Pretty much discusses what advanced stats are and how they're used.
A good article in all and describes why they're so compelling. |
That article kind of illustrates why calling advanced stats, advanced stats is a pet peeve of mine. They are all really basic stats, they just record different types of information. Shop attempts is no more complicated than shots on net.
Another example, the author tries to correlate shot attempts to possession times, and concludes "that is a pretty good correlation", without doing even basic stats (like a regression) to evaluate how good the correlation is.
/pointless rant.
