The program will include both theoretical lectures and hands-on sessions, fostering interaction and discussion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Participation in the CLADAG School is limited. Applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, provided that applicants meet the minimum requirements to attend the School. Applicants are therefore required to submit their CV together with the registration form. The Scientific Committee will verify that the submitted CVs meet the eligibility criteria and may reject applications that do not fulfill them. Once the maximum number of participants is reached, registration will be closed. Applicants whose CVs are not deemed adequate will be informed as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center\"><a

We will provide an introduction to standard modeling techniques such as Generalized Linear Models (GLMs), regression and classification trees (CARTs), and random forests. Moreover, the course will address different sports, such as football (soccer), handball, and tennis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The lessons combine theoretical topics with practical examples using R software.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"button w-button w--current\" href=\"https:\/\/bodai.unibs.it\/bdsports\/?page_id=2644&amp;preview=true\">Course Material<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Introductory background<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Egidi, L., Karlis, D., Ntzoufras, I.
