论文摘要
鉴于球员薪水的固定预算，最高得分球队的薪水分配是多少？我们使用幻想英超足球（足球）可获得的大量数据调查了这个问题。使用过去几个赛季的球员数据，几个赛季和几个不同的预算限制，我们确定了每个赛季的得分最高的幻想团队，但受每个预算限制。然后，我们研究了这些团队的可量化特征。有趣的是，在几乎每个对足球比赛和预算都重要的变量中，这些顶级团队在这些变量中都表现出多样性。此外，从统计学上\ em \ em在这些变量中显示出如此多样性。我们的结果表明，包括薪水在内的这些变量的多样性是表现最佳团队的一般特征。此外，在获得这些结果的过程中，我们开发了一种数据清洁（或数据减少）算法，该算法大大减少了要分析的数据量。
Given a fixed budget for player salaries, what is the distribution of salaries of the top scoring teams? We investigated this question using the wealth of data available from fantasy premier league football (soccer). Using the players' data from past seasons, for several seasons and several different budget constraints, we identified the highest scoring fantasy team for each season subject to each budget constraint. We then investigated quantifiable characteristics of these teams. Interestingly, across nearly every variable that is significant to the game of football and the budget, these top teams display diversity across these variables. Furthermore, randomly assembled teams would statistically \em not \em display such diversity across these variables. Our results indicate that diversity across these variables, including salaries, is a general feature of top performing teams. Moreover, in the process of obtaining these results we developed a data cleaning (or data reduction) algorithm that drastically reduced the amount of data to be analyzed.
