1 ILDA - Interacting with Large Data

There has been an increasing demand from the cricketing community to introduce newer metrics to analyze the game. Data from ball tracking and prediction have urged statisticians to re-look at existing comparative measures. Using methods from topological data analysis, we introduce a new technique to compare cricketers using spatial features. We use data from IPL seasons (2012-2017) to compare our results with an existing ranking scheme.

Mots clés: topological data analysis; spatio-temporal cricket
