keggerz Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I need to mine some information from NFL.com's Gamebooks to do a study of some stats to see if the correlation I think exists actually does... What I am looking for are people that are willing to take 1 year to mine the data that I need. It will need to be done in Excel and I will send you an excel file with the format I would like it done in. What I need each volunteer to do(7 volunteers would be great but I need a min of 3) is take one year each: If/when I get enough volunteers I will put together an email to everyone letting them know exactly what info I need. It is going to be slightly intensive since it will be for each week of each season....that is why I am looking for some help if you are interested in volunteering just let me know in this thread and then I will contact you via PM. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolf Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 ...intensive work for a year, and no mention of some sort of reward? Shocking that no one has volunteered thus far...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA Not sure if you're interested or if you need historical data, but there's a site out there where you can get all this data for about $100 tacos. I don't want to put the addy on here in case there's some form of competition between DMD or his partners and this site. If you'd like it let me know and I'll PM it to you. They also have all this type of data (offensive mostly) weekly during the season as well. ETA: All their data is excel importable (csv files) Edited July 29, 2009 by BiggieFries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donutrun Jellies Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Are you trying to confirm that QBs are more valuable if passing TDs count as 6 points than if they count as 4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
