The picture gets even more complicated when the inter-related processes of migration and diasporic identification on the part of fan identities shape and respond to collective and spatial polit...
Spatio-temporal cohesive networks for evaluating team behavior in soccer Külah, Emre; Alemdar, Hande; Department of Computer Engineering (2019) In this thesis, we analyze positional organizations of soccer teams during game transitions which end with an important result and individual sprinting performances of soccer players. Social networks and distance matrices of teams are used to obtain organizations of teams. Spatial features of pitch such as pitch value and pass probability value are used to evaluate sprint performances. Social networks that we call cohesion matrices are used as weights in both attacking and defending transitions. The norm of...
