Summary
- This paper proposes a method, with graph theory, probability theory and calculus, to build machine learning models based on data analysis, which aims at providing strategies for soccer coach’s lineup arrangement and players’ training.
本文利用图论，概率论和微积分的方法，利用数据分析和建立机器学习模型，为足球教练的阵容安排和球员训练提供策略。
- Firstly, the Pass Network Model can be established according to the graph theory, whose edge-weights are evaluation of coordination degree of each dyadic configurations. Pass Evaluate Index is designed for evaluate a single pass, and the summation of each pass can be defined as the edge-weights of PNM. For analysis, the adjacency matrix of N participating players within a period. Several outstanding M configurations can be found by the sort of M-element combination with the key of the sum of the sub-complete graph edge weights. What’s more, investigation of the influence of time on pass density depends on the constructed and approximate function of time and pass.
Firstly，根据图论，在球员之间建立传球网络，并建立单次传球的价值评价模型，用于评价两两球员间传球的配合程度，即传球网络的边权。建立在一定时间范围内所有参与比赛的N个球员的邻接矩阵，通过以M个点的子完全图边权之和为排序关键字找出若干组优秀的M元组合。同时建立基于时间尺度的价值模型，用于评价时间对传球效率的影响。
- Secondly, performance indicators that reflect successful teamwork can be divided into dynamic indicators and static indicators. Static indicators include player position arrangement and line-up with which player season heatmap models and player position models can be established while the dynamic indicators include opponents’ strength, side, coach, passes, defense, attack and fail. etc. After visualized analysis of the correlation between the dynamic indicators extracted after data cleaning, and with the setting label by the goal difference, the random forest classifier, a machine learning model, is used as a evaluation model of dynamic indicators. After the Grid Search used for tuning parameters, and cross-validation, the accuracy of the model achieving 80% approximately.
Secondly，我们将反映成功团队合作的绩效指标划分为静态指标和动态指标。静态指标包括球员位置安排和球队阵型（line-up），我们建立球员赛季热点模型和球员分布模型。动态指标包括opponents，side，coach，passes，defence，attack and fail等。对经过数据清洗动态指标之间通过可视化进行相关性分析后，以净胜球分类作为比赛样本标签，以随机森林分类器作为机器学习的模型，用网格搜索调优参数，建立动态指标评价模型，进行交叉验证，达到了80%的准确率。
- Thirdly, the study focuses on the role of static indicators in the performance of the team and establishes different players’ value evaluation models in different positions which comprehensively consider the player’s positions and technical statistical data evaluation. To optimize the value of 11-person permutation, we choose simulated annealing (SA) algorithm which searches the global optimal solution in cousin points in the same minimized search tree after the local optimal solution has attained. The model finally gave the best starting lineup formation. In addition, we also consider the following three secondary factors: tacit understanding between players, home and away influence, and coaching arrangements. All analysis above can be concluded as comprehensive suggestion to the coach.
Thirdly，通过上述中建立的模型进行观察分析，我们着重研究静态指标对球队的胜利起到的关键作用，综合考虑球员位置和技术数据评价模型，建立不同球员在不同位置价值评价模型。通过模拟退火算法，优化11人排列组合的考虑，在局部最优解的父级搜索树进行搜索全局最优解，最终给出价值最优的首发阵容阵型图。此外我们还考虑以下三个次要影响因素：球员间默契度，主客场影响和教练安排。给教练提出的综合建议。
- Finally, we use the case of the Huskies to explain group dynamics. And use the conclusions obtained by the Huskies to build a model to explain how to design a more effective team and supplement the team performance indicators.
Finally，我们用哈士奇球队的案例来解释群体动力学。并用哈士奇球队建立模型得到的结论来说明如何设计更有效的团队，并对团队绩效指标进行补充。

1 绪论 Introduction
1.1 背景 Background
Football has a long history. It has been loved all over the world since it was popularized. Football can be considered as the most popular sports in the world. Football, a seemingly simple sport, contains the secrets of individual ability and team cooperation. With the development of the times and the progress of science and technology, football players and coaches continue to improve in skills, showing the audience wonderful matches. As we all know, a wonderful football match is inseparable from the contributions of players and teams. By studying the actions of everyone in the team, coordinating the team relationship, reasonably arranging the minutes and line-up, we can score best.

1.2 问题重述 Problem Restatement
Football is a sport suitable for all ages. Since its inclusion in international tournaments, people have created a variety of methods to evaluate the team dynamics throughout the match and over the entire season to help determine specific strategies that can improve teamwork next season. We need to use the data provided by the ICM team to build a model to solve the following four problems.
足球赛是一项老少皆宜的运动，自从其纳入国际赛事以来，人们就创造出各种各样的方法来评价整个比赛和整个赛季的团队动态，来帮助确定下个赛季可以改善团队合作的具体策略。我们需要使用ICM团队提供的数据建立模型来解决以下四个问题。
- Consider each player as a node and create a passing network to identify dyadic, triadic and multiple configurations. We need to establish a value evaluation model of a single pass and a general evaluation model of the passing of the time structure index under the passing network.
- To Identify performance indicators that reflect successful teamwork, we need to consider static and dynamic indicators. Establish a model of the impact of each performance indicator on successful teamwork, and use one model to encompass these four sub-models.
- By observing and analyzing the model established in Questions 1 and 2, tell the coach that which form of structural strategy is applicable to the Huskies. Using the results of the model analysis to make suggestions for the coach to improve the team’s success rate next season.
- Use the case of the Huskies to explain the theory of group dynamics, and use the conclusion of the model established by the Huskies to explain how to design a more effective team, and supplement the team performance indicators.
- 将每一个球员当做一个节点，创建传球网络来识别二元配置，三元配置和 多元配置。我们需要建立在传球网络下，单次传球的价值评价模型，以及时间结构指标的传球总数评价模型。
- 确定反映成功团队合作的绩效指标，我们需要考虑静态指标和动态指标。建立每个绩效指标对成功团队合作影响的模型，并用一个模型来囊括这四个子模型。
- 通过对问题1,2中建立的模型的观察分析，告诉教练什么样的结构策略适用于哈士奇球队。用模型分析的结果为教练提高球队的下个赛季的成功率给出建议。
- 用哈士奇球队的案例来解释群体动力学理论，用哈士奇球队建立模型得到的结论来说明如何设计更有效的团队，并对团队绩效指标进行补充。
