Discovering Meaning in Baseball Statistics Through Information Visualization (S20)
Andy Cox
We humans are visual creatures. Thus, any tool that might improve our capacity to understand large datasets through visual display of information patterns deserves our attention. After defining and describing infovis (“information visualization”) systems and their principles, Andy Cox presents applications he has developed, using Retrosheet data and other large-scale datasets, to demonstrate the utility of infovis for rapid summarizing, analyzing, filtering, and understanding baseball data and their interrelationships.
Andy Cox (andy@cc.gatech.edu) recently received his Master of Science in Computer Science from the Georgia Institute of Technology, where he studied the application of information visualization and intelligent systems to sports statistics. He has been a Pursue the Pennant/Diamond Mind Baseball addict for more than 15 years. In a former life, he worked as a software developer and consultant. He currently lives in Atlanta.
