چکیده
In this paper, we introduce an R software package for simulating plays and drives using play-by-play data from the National Football League. The simulations are generated by sampling previous football seasons. procedure adds statistical rigor to any decisions or inferences arising examining simulations. We highlight that is particularly useful as a data-driven tool evaluating potential in-game strategies rule changes within league. demonstrate its utility oft-debated strategy of “going it” on fourth down investigating whether not teams should pass more than current standard.

REAL - TIME DECISION MAKING USING SIMULATION Mukesh
Based on a discrete-event simulation model, Simulationbased Real-time Decision-Making (SRDM) is an innovative approach to real-time, goal-directed decision-making. When applied to a flexible manufacturing system, SRDM makes better decisions than most fixed policies, such as deterministic, stochastic and manual. SRDM even improved over fixed policies optimized within a class of policies by OptQu...
متن کاملImproved Decision Making Through Simulation-Based Planning
Real-time military planning and decision making involves several diierent mod-eling techniques, including rule-based, operator-based and dynamic-model based approaches. While rule-based approaches are generally fast and are more appropriate for simple scenarios, simulation methods and dynamic models, indigenous to the simulation literature, are necessary to plan within environments involving la...
