STAT 3010 Lecture Notes - Lecture 16: Multivariate Analysis, Playtime
Document Summary
From my analysis of the univariate analyses i have identified that there are more midfielders than any other position on the team. The least number of players on a field are goalkeepers which makes sense because there is only one goalkeeper on the field at a time for a team or two total goalkeepers on the field at a time. There are also more international players in the. Eastern major league soccer conference than american players. Finally, we discovered that most players are between 69 and 72 inches tall. With the height data i then turned the height variable into 3 categories. The three categories consisted of height above average, average and below average. In my multivariate analysis for the position by height i saw that it most defenders and forwards were above average height while most midfielders were average height. Almost 100% of the goalkeepers are above average in height. Therefore, i concluded that position is affected by height.
