The WNBA worksheet introduces the idea of using team records from earlier in the season to predict which teams will make the playoffs. Most of the time, we would expect teams with better records halfway through the season to have a higher chance of making the playoffs, but is this always the case? Just as importantly, how do we know whether the data we are using are complete and reliable enough for this analysis? By completing this worksheet, you will work through several data cleaning steps involving WNBA team-game data and then use the cleaned data to investigate the relationship between midseason performance and playoff outcomes.
