Analysis of the outcome for the Korean Pro-Basketball games using Regression models

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to analyse outcomes of Korean Pro- basketball games using regression models. Both Classic Fuzzy Regression Model and Fuzzy Regression Model applying linguistic variables were used to meet the purpose of the paper. In General Regression Analysis, in which the results of games are expressedand analyzed through score differences, a regression model is p roposed considering influential variables for the score differences of the two teams. In Fuzzy Regression Ana lysis, the results are sorted into six different literal expressions, 'win with large margin, win with moderate margin, win with narrow margin, defeat withnarrow margin, defeat with moderate margin, and defeat with lar ge margin'. Athletic performances and team work of each teams were expressed in fuzzy number to analyse how much athletic performances and team work affect results of games. This paper referred back to 2013- 2014 season data provided by KBL(Korean Basketball League) and professional columns on Korean basketbal l analysis.Key Words : Basketball, Athletic performance, Team work, Fuzzy number, Regression model.
