Abstract
Football, as one of the most popular sports, can provide exciting examples to motivate students learning statistics. In this paper, we analyzed the number of goals scored in the UEFA EURO 2020 final phase as well as the waiting times between goals, considering censored times. Such a dataset allows us to consider some aspects of count data taught at an introductory level (such as the Poisson distribution), as well as more advanced topics (such as survival analysis taking into account the presence of censored times). Employing data from the final phase of UEFA EURO 2020, depending on the course level, the student will acquire knowledge and understanding of a range of key topics and analytical techniques in statistics, develop knowledge of the theoretical assumption underlying them and learn the skills needed to model count data.
足球作为最受欢迎的运动之一，可以提供令人兴奋的例子来激励学生学习统计学。在本文中，我们分析了UEFA EURO 2020决赛阶段的进球数以及进球之间的等待时间，并考虑了审查时间。这样的数据集允许我们考虑在入门级别教授的计数数据的某些方面(例如泊松分布)，以及更高级的主题(例如考虑审查时间存在的生存分析)。根据课程水平，利用2020年欧洲杯最后阶段的数据，学生将获得对一系列关键主题和统计分析技术的知识和理解，发展理论假设基础知识，并学习建模所需的技能计数数据。
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
