Our expertise is the collection, analysis and provision of quality
statistical information on sport.
Through research via mathematical modelling, we add value by interpretation
and analysis
thereby creating more meaningful statistics. Using computer and
statistical modelling we make
the statistics work: providing outcomes such as computer predictions
of match results,
objective player and team ratings, measurement of home advantages,
game simulations and
tactical evaluation. We provide the media and public with an objective
analysis of sporting issues
with a sound statistical basis.

AFL Heatmaps - by current PhD student Karl Jackson
In order to investigate spatial tactics of players and/or teams, it is
first necessary to be able to create a graphical representation of
their possessions. One of the simplest questions to answer using
spatial data is ?Where is he getting the ball??. Simple plotting of
data points is possible, but with players gaining upwards of 30
possessions a game, this can quickly become unreadable. To remedy
this, locations of possessions are represented by empirical density
functions and have the commercial branding of heatmaps. See the
following document for some examples.
