ANALYSIS OF RESULTS AT EUROBASKET 2011 – FINAL RESULTS OF OBSERVED ELEMENTS OF BASKETBALL GAME

Statistical modelling of quantitative evaluation of the influence of certain basketball elements onto the final result by means of regressive analysis has enabled us to come to an answer regarding the quantitative parameters and their influence on the final result. The evaluation of regressive models is extracted on the basis of differentation in the final result and differentation of certain quantitative parameters as insubordinate variables. Depending on the choice of quantitative parameters, their scope and the nature itself (absolute or relative), several different regressive models may be formed. The evaluation of influence of certain parameters on the final result has been extracted on the basis of the obtained regressive models and the correlation link between the observed variables which have been established on the basis of simple linear and partial correlation quotients. Based on the obtained results the following can be concluded: (1) the obtained regressive models are in general statistically very significant ; and (2) the obtained regressive models are statistically significant in relation to the included variables, i.e. the observed parameters. In other words, it means that in both cases there is a significant correlation between subordinate variables (difference in the total number of points) and the sets of insubordinate variables. Presented by the quotient of multiple determination, it means that: (1) for the first regressive model on the basis of apsolute elemenents of basketball, R2 = .905, and for the second model on the basis of relative elements of basketball, R2 =.736.
