Basketball Data Science – ERRATA CORRIGE

• Preface, page xv.

Errata: “… redefining match results based purely on the performance on the basketball court.”

Corrige: “… redefining match results based purely on the performance on the soccer field.”

• Formulas (2.3) and (2.4), page 24.

Errata: “ORtg = PTS_T/POSS_T” and “DRtg = PTS_O/POSS_O”.

Corrige: “ORtg = PTS_T/POSS_T × 100” and “DRtg = PTS_O/POSS_O × 100”.

Thanks to Gianpaolo Mura who reported the mistake.

• e-book only: Code, page 25.

Errata: “selTeams <- which(Tadd$team”.

Corrige: “selTeams <- which(Tadd$team %in% tm)”.

Thanks to Mattia Stival who reported the mistake.

• Top-left panel of Figure 2.1, page 26 and top panel of Figure 2.2, page 28.

Errata: values on the axes in the order of magnitude of 10.

Corrige: values on the axes in the order of magnitude of 2.

Thanks to Gianpaolo Mura who reported the mistake.

• e-book only: Code, page 49.

Errata: “sum(x ”.

Corrige: “sum(x %in% lineup)==5”.

Thanks to Mattia Stival who reported the mistake.

• Comment to Figure 2.14, page 52.

Errata: “…highlighting, for each zone, the average time elapsed…”

Corrige: “…highlighting, for each zone, the median time elapsed…”

• Code for obtaining Table 3.2, page 64.

Errata: “arrange(-eta2)”

Corrige: “arrange(-eta2) %>%”

Thanks to Christopher Riccio who reported the mistake.

• Correlation matrix, top of page 68.

Errata: “0.697” (two times)

Corrige: “0.687” (two times)

• Figure 5.6 (bottom), page 169.

Slight changes due to improvements made to the function expectedpts: the final part of the smoothed line corresponding to Klay Thompson has a slightly different pattern.

• Figure 5.7, page 171.

Slight changes due to improvements made to the function expectedpts: different ticks on the x-axis.

• Code for Figure 5.8, page 173.

Errata: “... col.hline="gray", var="totalTime", xlab="Total time")”

Corrige: “... col.hline="gray", var="totalTime", xlab="Total time", x.range=NULL)”
