Fair-credit Baseball
My Fair-credit Baseball research uses concepts from coalitional game theory to create new baseball statistics. These statistics identify each players fair share of credit for producing runs or outs in baseball. They are calculated using the Shapley Value — hence the Shapley label in their names — a concept from mathematical game theory that identifies the share of credit that each member of a team deserves for the team’s total production.
