nflIntelligence

An analysis of NFL player intelligence and its relation to performance.

Overview

This is a study conducted I for my Economics of Sport class at Santa Clara University. Leveraging my Computer Science background and interest in data science I created a script that collects NFL player data, aggregates statistics, and then cross references player educational background.

I used a number of tools from CSCI 182 (Data Science) and CSCI 183 (Web & Data Crawling) including:

• Pandas
• Jupiter Notebook
• Scrapy
• Scikit-Learn
