Using RStudio and Google Cloud to Scale Sports Analytics

Abstract: The increasing volume, variety, and velocity of sports data provides both great opportunities and challenges for data scientists working in sports. Using R with Google Cloud data science tools like BigQuery can help practitioners scale their analysis and impact in this "new era" of sports analytics. This presentation will include a demonstration of using R and Google Cloud together with an NCAA basketball data example, as well as a discussion of the application of such metrics and tools in the sports media and technology industries.
