socceranalysis

socceranalysis is a powerful Python package designed to make it easy to analyze and understand soccer statistics. With its set of functions, you can quickly obtain summary statistics for a particular team, identify outliers based on market value, rank players by goals per game and display different plots. The package is built in a way that allows user to easily customize the functions to their own interests, giving them the flexibility to analyze the data in a way that is most meaningful to them. Whether you're a coach, a sports journalist or an analyst, socceranalysis will help you unlock the insights hidden in your soccer data and make more informed decisions.

Functions

1. find_team_stat: provides a quick and easy way to understand the descriptive statistics of a team. (https://github.com/UBC-MDS/socceranalysis_python/blob/main/src/socceranalysis/find_team_stat.py)

2. rankingplayers: Ranks players based on specific attributes (https://github.com/UBC-MDS/socceranalysis_python/blob/main/src/socceranalysis/playerranking.py)

3. get_outliers: Identifes outliers using statistical methods (interquartile range or standard deviations) (https://github.com/UBC-MDS/socceranalysis_python/blob/main/src/socceranalysis/outlier_identification.py)

4. soc_viz_stats : Generates meaningful visualizations to help users understand and interpret the data (https://github.com/UBC-MDS/socceranalysis_python/blob/main/src/socceranalysis/viz_stats.py)

• soc_viz_stats_scatter : Generate a scatter plot for two given numeric columns with a slider to control age
• soc_viz_stats_hist : Generate a histogram for one given numeric columns

Python ecosystem

socceranalysis can be used in conjunction with other popular Python packages such as pandas and scikit-learn to perform more advanced data analysis and machine learning tasks. For example, users can use pandas to manipulate and clean their soccer data, and then use this package to perform specific soccer-related analysis on the cleaned data. Additionally, socceranalysis can be used in conjunction with scikit-learn for machine learning tasks on soccer data. They are designed to be a higher-level, more user-friendly and declarative interface based on Altair for performing specific soccer-related analysis and visualization tasks. Users can perform similar visualization using matplotlib. Overall, socceranalysis is a valuable addition to the Python ecosystem as it provides a specialized tool for analyzing and understanding soccer data without the need for writing complex code, this can be especially useful for users who may not have extensive experience with data analysis or visualization.
