Team Selection Strategy in IPL 9 using Random Forests Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
IPL 9 is scheduled to be held in April 2016. T20 cricket is relatively new and the strategies and techniques are evolving. This is evident in the better performances by both bowlers and batsmen in successive IPL seasons. This paper presents a detailed analysis of the data of IPL upto season 8 and overall T20 career data of players upto January 2016 to design performance indices for batsmen and bowlers in IPL 9. Categorization of players is done based on their roles in the team and the indices are determined separately for each category using Random Forests Algorithm. A heuristic is designed to enable selection of the best playing 11 out of the available team using the performance indices designed in this work. The algorithm is effective in enabling the best 11 to be selected within the constraints of the rules in the IPL tournament.

VSURF: An R Package for Variable Selection Using Random Forests
This paper describes the R package VSURF. Based on random forests, and for both regression and classification problems, it returns two subsets of variables. The first is a subset of important variables including some redundancy which can be relevant for interpretation, and the second one is a smaller subset corresponding to a model trying to avoid redundancy focusing more closely on the predict...
متن کاملRandom forests algorithm in podiform chromite prospectivity mapping in Dolatabad area, SE Iran
The Dolatabad area located in SE Iran is a well-endowed terrain owning several chromite mineralized zones. These chromite ore bodies are all hosted in a colored mélange complex zone comprising harzburgite, dunite, and pyroxenite. These deposits are irregular in shape, and are distributed as small lenses along colored mélange zones. The area has a great potential for discovering further chromite...
متن کاملVariable selection using random forests
This paper proposes, focusing on random forests, the increasingly used statistical method for classification and regression problems introduced by Leo Breiman in 2001, to investigate two classical issues of variable selection. The first one is to find important variables for interpretation and the second one is more restrictive and try to design a good prediction model. The main contribution is...
متن کاملFault Locating in High Voltage Transmission Lines Based on Harmonic Components of One-end Voltage Using Random Forests
In this paper, an approach is proposed for accurate locating of single phase faults in transmission lines using voltage signals measured at one-end. In this method, harmonic components of the voltage signals are extracted through Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) and are normalized by a transformation. The proposed fault locator, which is designed based on Random Forests (RF) algorithm, is train...
متن کاملBagging Ensemble Selection for Regression
Bagging ensemble selection (BES) is a relatively new ensemble learning strategy. The strategy can be seen as an ensemble of the ensemble selection from libraries of models (ES) strategy. Previous experimental results on binary classification problems have shown that using random trees as base classifiers, BES-OOB (the most successful variant of BES) is competitive with (and in many cases, super...
