Abstract
Carl Morris 1938–2023 was well-known for his pioneering research in Bayesian multiparameter inference and prediction. Morris was also known for his development of statistical thinking and methodology in sports. This paper provides an overview of Morris’ contributions in sports. This includes Morris’ experience in sports as a youth, summaries of some of Morris’ best-known contributions using sports data, his influence working with students, and some of Morris’ thinking about the interplay of statistics and sports.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports (JQAS), an official journal of the American Statistical Association, publishes timely, high-quality peer-reviewed research on the quantitative aspects of professional and amateur sports, including collegiate and Olympic competition. The scope of application reflects the increasing demand for novel methods to analyze and understand data in the growing field of sports analytics. Articles come from a wide variety of sports and diverse perspectives, and address topics such as game outcome models, measurement and evaluation of player performance, tournament structure, analysis of rules and adjudication, within-game strategy, analysis of sporting technologies, and player and team ranking methods. JQAS seeks to publish manuscripts that demonstrate original ways of approaching problems, develop cutting edge methods, and apply innovative thinking to solve difficult challenges in sports contexts. JQAS brings together researchers from various disciplines, including statistics, operations research, machine learning, scientific computing, econometrics, and sports management.
