Evaluating Soccer Player Movements with Attacker-Defender Model
Analysis
This paper builds upon the Attacker-Defender (AD) model to analyze soccer player movements. It addresses limitations of previous studies by optimizing parameters using a larger dataset from J1-League matches. The research aims to validate the model's applicability and identify distinct playing styles, contributing to a better understanding of player interactions and potentially informing tactical analysis.
Key Takeaways
- •Focuses on the Attacker-Defender (AD) model for analyzing soccer player movements.
- •Addresses limitations of previous studies by using a larger dataset and improved parameter optimization.
- •Aims to validate the model's applicability and identify distinct playing styles.
- •Potentially contributes to a better understanding of player interactions and tactical analysis.
“This study aims to (1) enhance parameter optimization by solving the AD model for one player with the opponent's actual trajectory fixed, (2) validate the model's applicability to a large dataset from 306 J1-League matches, and (3) demonstrate distinct playing styles of attackers and defenders based on the full range of optimized parameters.”
