Saving NBA 2018 209 Misc Stat csv to NBA 2018 209 Misc Stat csv

Load various datasets into speci c DataFrame which will be a good starting point to explore and
manipulate our desired data for later operations. Each dataset is then printed to ensure we have
loaded and stored them properly.

Number of Entries

At rst glance, each entry seems to represent a unique value. This is true for the team and opponent
game stats, but this is not true for the player stats. Upon further investigation, there are clearly
several entires with the same player name.

MACHINE LEARNING & PREDICTIONS

Predict the value of a trade or player aquisition using the team points totals and the player point
averages.

# Determine the teams scoring average

# Does aquired player add to team average or does it decrease the team average
# Split into test and training sets and scale

# Compute distance between two n-dimensional points

#df edist(x,y):
#return np.sqrt(np.sum((x-y)**2))

# Look at only desired columns

#df = df_18_19_player[['PTS','Player']]

# Scale the data

#df_raw = df
#df = df.apply(z.score)
