A Survey on the application of Data Science And Analytics in the field of Organised Sports

Abstract

The application of Data Science and Analytics to optimize or predict outcomes is Ubiquitous in the Modern World. Data Science and Analytics have optimized almost every domain that exists in the market. In our survey, we focus on how the field of Analytics has been adopted in the field of sports, and how it has contributed to the transformation of the game right from the assessment of on-field players and their selection to the prediction of winning team and to the marketing of tickets and business aspects of big sports tournaments. We will present the analytical tools, algorithms, and methodologies adopted in the field of Sports Analytics for different sports and also present our views on the same and we will also compare and contrast these existing approaches. By doing so, we will also present the best tools, algorithms, and analytical methodologies to be considered by anyone who is looking to experiment with sports data and analyze various aspects of the game.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:2209.0699
