In this post I’m going to explore the tigris and leaflet packages to make some maps. I live in Cook County, Illinois, and I thought it would be interesting to create a relatively granular map of the county.
While looking through the census data website I found an interesting measure that the Census Bureau has been tracking since 1790. Based on the results of each 10 year census, they track the county that is the population ‘center’ of the United States.
The freely available Statsbomb event level soccer data includes 520 Barcelona La Liga games during the period from 2004 to 2021. Barcelona are famous for their ability to out-possess nearly every team they play against, so I thought it would be interesting to dig into the data and produce a few charts to demonstrate Barcelona’s possession dominance.
On TV, post-game soccer possession statistics are measured by the number of passess for each team during the game. In this post I explore possession using the freely available Statsbomb event level data from the 2019 Champions League final between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.
This post uses freely available Statsbomb event level data to visualize the frequency of possession changes in the 2019 Champions League final between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur. Liverpool won the game 2-0, but they possessed the ball for less than half the time Spurs had it.
I thought it would be interesting to plot some data using box plots and then to plot the same data again using a tile grid. Box plots are great to get a quick visual overview of some standard statistical properties of the data.
One thing that struck me while exploring the Wine Enthusiast magazine data for other posts, is that there is so much information in it.
