Adam Sigesmund Wins Dean카지노 게임 컬렉션s Student Data Visualization Prize
The Faculty of Arts and Science invited undergraduate, graduate, and professional students to submit original interactive works of data visualization for the Dean카지노 게임 컬렉션s Student Data Visualization Prize. It was an opportunity for students to showcase their data visualization skills and research, and this year카지노 게임 컬렉션s submissions ranged from charts to maps and 3-D models. Thank you to all of the students who submitted works!
This year카지노 게임 컬렉션s winner was Adam Sigesmund, a fourth-year undergraduate student majoring in Statistics and the Co-Chair for Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Sports Analytics Organization. He used National Hockey League (NHL) data to create an interactive map to demonstrate where and when teams travel during the season. Adam points out that he was inspired to create the map that tracks road trips for all seven Canadian teams in the NHL last season in Tableau to study discrepancies in the amount of travel required by the teams:
카지노 게임 컬렉션Although each team must play the same number of games in cities other than their own, some teams must travel more than others over the course of a full season. It is common knowledge in sports that travelling limits the athletic capabilities of players, which obviously influences the games. Since travelling is not distributed equally amongst teams in the league, it is important to study the factors responsible for these discrepancies카지노 게임 컬렉션 Interacting with the map sheds light on two factors influencing travel: geography and the NHL schedule itself.카지노 게임 컬렉션
The judges chose this interactive visualization because it demonstrated understanding of the underlining data and the ability to use this knowledge effectively to create an original data visualization that is easy to understand. Dean Barbara Crow further explains, 카지노 게임 컬렉션Adam카지노 게임 컬렉션s use of NHL data to create an interactive map showing where and when teams travel during the season is a novel idea and the results are fascinating for sports fans as well as researchers.카지노 게임 컬렉션
