Goal scoring in Premier League with Poisson regression
This addresses a domain-specific problem for football analysts, but it appears incremental as it applies an existing statistical method to a common dataset.
The study tackled the problem of identifying factors affecting goal scoring in Premier League matches, using Poisson regression to find relationships between shots on target, corners, and red cards with home team goals, but did not report specific numerical results.
Premier League is known as one of the most competitive football league in the world, hence there are many goals are scored here every match. Which are the factors that affect to the number of goal scored in each match? We use Poisson regression to find out the relation between many factors as shots on target, corners, red cards, to the goals home team can score in their match.
