"The Handbook of Statistical Methods and Analysis in Sports is a phenomenal reference text capturing some of the best work of more than 40 statisticians active in the intersection of statistical methodology and sports data. It consists of 24 largely independent chapters each written by different authors, and outlines advances in statistical methodology applied to baseball, American football, basketball, ice hockey, football (soccer), golf, and cricket. The brilliant design of the texts structure provides readers with a broad survey of the statistics-in-sports research landscape; it could reasonably be implemented in statistics curricula in a variety of formats and at different levels. ~Joe Nolan, Journal of the American Statistical Association "The Handbook of Statistical Methods and Analysis in Sports is a phenomenal reference text capturing some of the best work of more than 40 statisticians active in the intersection of statistical methodology and sports data.
