چکیده
Goals and Applications Our overall goal is to successfully predict the offensive play-calling decisions of college football coaches. We will attempt to make such predictions on the basis of data from past games and from previous plays in the current game. While there is extensive literature on machine learning in some other sports such as baseball, football has been relatively neglected; furthermore, most machine learning applications to sports focus on game results and player performance rather than plays or coaching decisions. We hope that with this novel approach we will find new and useful results for the following two applications: (1) To assist a football coach in making defensive play-calling decisions appropriate to the expected offensive play. (2) To assist individuals in live sports betting, a service that casinos intend to introduce for football in the near future.

متن کاملSelection by a predispersal seed predator constrains the evolution of avian seed dispersal in pines
1. Previous studies have demonstrated that wind dispersal is an effective mode of seed dispersal for pines ( Pinus , Pinaceae) with seeds weighing <90 mg, but not for largerseeded ( ≥ 90 mg) pines. Consequently, most large-seeded pines rely on birds in the family Corvidae for seed dispersal, but some do not, and most of their seeds fall near the parent tree. Why seeds of these pines are not dis...
متن کاملConvergent Patterns in the Selection Mosaic for Two North American Bird-dispersed Pines
The strength and outcome of interspecific interactions often vary across the landscape because of differences in community context. We investigated how the presence or absence of pine squirrels (Tamiasciurus spp.) influences the ecology and (co)evolution of seeddispersal mutualisms between Clark’s Nutcrackers (Nucifraga columbiana) and limber (Pinus flexilis) and whitebark (P. albicaulis) pines...
متن کاملThe Phenology and Growth Habits of Pines in Hawaii
Hawaii has no native pines, but many species have been introduced as ornamental or potential timber trees. These species have been planted in environments that differ greatly from their natural habitat. This paper describes how the coordinated seasonal cycle of growth and flowering has been influenced by the climatic conditions these pines have encountered in Hawaii. Hawaii has no native pines,...
متن کاملGender Differences Among Social vs. Business Entrepreneurs
A rapidly growing body of research attests to the interest in women's entrepreneurship (e.g. Boyd, 2005; Bruni, Gheradi, & Poggio, 2004; Brush, Carter, Gatewood, Greene & Hart, 2006; Lerner & Pines, 2011; Mulholland, 1996; Pines, 2002; Pines & Schwartz, 2008). This interest is relatively recent (Humbert, Drew & Kelan, 2009). As Carter and Shaw (2006) have noted, research on entrepreneurship has...
