*WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS COURSE ON UDEMMY *

"It was informative, and with some simple coding, someone could do everything mentioned because the links to the Davidson pages are dead."

-(Carlos Peña-Lobel) ★★★★★

"I am from the old school, now if I can get all this down, I might fare better in March than I ever have. The course was presented in a very professional, interesting, and well balanced way. I wish the web sites would work but oh well. A course for anyone, not just sports fans, but everybody who wants to analyze a large amount of data. "

-(Steve Hicks) ★★★★★

"You do need a math background to really understand the concepts. The two zip files are class files which are basically no good if you are on windows. I had to go to my wife's iPad to open them."

-(Jim Sangston) ★★★★★

"I was not aware that rankings were based on linear models; this was very insightful and my goal is to try and code these programs using Matlab. Thanks to Professor Chartier for sharing this! I hope that I can do better in the office pool this year with this information! "

-(Kevin D. Yeomans) ★★★★★
