Our team collected a data set from Kaggle.com that contains in depth information about every single shot of Kobe's career. This includes information on shot location, shot type, time remaining etc.

DataThe data set holds a total of 30697 shots. The key variables of the data set are shown below. This data set is unique because there are 5000 missing 'shot made' values. Our first step was to construct an algorithm that is trained on the shots where we had information on whether is was made or not. We then use the algorithm to predict the 5000 missing shots to conduct further analysis.

Predictions were made using a logistic regression algorithim. For more details on this please click on the Machine Learning tab.
