My hope is that it reduces the frustration that goes along with learning a new programming language and enhances others' ability to perform their own analysis in baseball or other sports. However, these tutorials will hopefully allow you to use these skills ... [Read more...]

In a recent post, I briefly mentioned that I may turn a majority of the focus of this blog to teaching R commands for use with sabermetric analysis. Only a few days later, Ricky Zanker began a new column at The Hardball Times doing just that. But that's okay. Hopefully ... [Read more...]
