Project: Data Analysis

• Advanced NFL Stats Glossary – This provides some definitions on the statistics we will use, from
http://www.advancednflstats.com/ .
• NFL QB Data – an Excel file containing the NFL quarterback statistics.
Your job in this project is to answer the simple questions:
• Which quarterback had the best single season during this period?
• Which quarterback had the worst single season?
When answering these questions, please use the WP statistic to determine a quarterback’s performance.
Also, please justify how you determine the best performance for each year. Remember that defenses,
weather, rules, number of QBs considered, etc., change each year. Please look at how, in the book,
section 9.3, they compare baseball batting averages over time using the z-score.
