Fully Funded Swansea University and Scarlets Rugby PhD Scholarship: In-game Statistics Associated with Match Outcome in Professional Rugby Union
Found in: beBee S GB - 3 weeks ago
Funding providers: Swansea University and Scarlets Rugby
Subject areas: Engineering, sport science, data science, physics, mathematics
Project start date:
- 1 July 2024 (Enrolment open from mid-June)
Project description:
The aim of this PhD project is to investigate whether match key performance indicators (KPIs) are effective at predicting match outcome at the elite rugby union level in the URC.
The candidate will review current key performance indicators and analyse their influence on match outcome. The candidate will build and refine machine learning techniques to find latent patterns or parameters in the data to statistically predict match outcome and league position. Initially, these models will be based on legacy data from our project partner, Scarlets Rugby. This dataset comprises individual athlete, team, strategy, and wellness information from 5 prior seasons. The models will be verified/refined on the legacy data test efficacy and then applied to the current URC season 24-25.
The candidate will be embedded in a professional rugby environment and will be expected to adhere to strict non-interference rules. They will be responsible for collecting multi-channel data from a range of micro-technology devices that assess performance and monitor training load and ultimately will oversee data quality, provenance and curation within a standardised database.
Available resources/facilities: A-STEM labs (biomechanics and exercise physiology)/Scarlets load monitoring and performance analysis equipment
Eligibility
