Hi!

Inspired by @yeganehbavafa 's Men's VNL 2023 dataset, I've created this new one for the Women's VNL 2024 using the same source (volleyballworld.com) for personal purposes. Now, here it is for everybody who find it useful.

I encourage all to visit @yeganehbavafa 's dataset for a much detailed explanation of the data.

Comprehensive YouTube channel statistics for Beach Volleyball World, featuring 526,000 subscribers and 505,659,489 total views. This dataset includes detailed performance metrics such as subscriber growth, video views, engagement rates, and estimated revenue. The channel operates in the Lifestyle category and is based in CH. Track 4,629 videos with daily and monthly performance data, including view counts, subscriber changes, and earnings estimates. Analyze growth trends, engagement patterns, and compare performance against similar channels in the same category.

The statistic displays the results of a survey on the number of people who are aware of beach volleyball as a sport in Germany from 2013 to 2020, by level of interest. In 2020, it was found that **** million people aged 14 and older in Germany are very interested in beach volleyball.

The data this week comes from Adam Vagnar who also blogged about this dataset. There's a LOT of data here - match-level results, player details, and match-level statistics for some matches. For all this dataset all the matches are played 2 vs 2, so there are columns for 2 winners (1 team) and 2 losers (1 team). The data is relatively ready for analysis and clean, although there are some duplicated columns and the data is wide due to the 2-players per team.

Check out the data dictionary, or Wikipedia for some longer-form details around what the various match statistics mean.

Most of the data is from the international FIVB tournaments but about 1/3 is from the US-centric AVP.

The FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour (known between 2003 and 2012 as the FIVB Beach Volleyball Swatch World Tour for sponsorship reasons) is the worldwide professional beach volleyball tour for both men and women organized by the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB). The World Tour was introduced for men in 1989 while the women first competed in 1992.

Winning the World Tour is considered to be one of the highest honours in international beach volleyball, being surpassed only by the World Championships, and the Beach Volleyball tournament at the Summer Olympic Games.

FiveThirtyEight examined the disadvantage of serving in beach volleyball, although they used Olympic-level data. Again, Adam Vagnar also covered this data on his blog.

What is Tidy Tuesday?

TidyTuesday A weekly data project aimed at the R ecosystem. As this project was borne out of the R4DS Online Learning Community and the R for Data Science textbook, an emphasis was placed on understanding how to summarize and arrange data to make meaningful charts with ggplot2, tidyr, dplyr, and other tools in the tidyverse ecosystem. However, any code-based methodology is welcome - just please remember to share the code used to generate the results.

Join the R4DS Online Learning Community in the weekly #TidyTuesday event! Every week we post a raw dataset, a chart or article related to that dataset, and ask you to explore the data. While the dataset will be “tamed”, it will not always be tidy!

We will have many sources of data and want to emphasize that no causation is implied. There are various moderating variables that affect all data, many of which might not have been captured in these datasets. As such, our guidelines are to use the data provided to practice your data tidying and plotting techniques. Participants are invited to consider for themselves what nuancing factors might underlie these relationships.

The intent of Tidy Tuesday is to provide a safe and supportive forum for individuals to practice their wrangling and data visualization skills independent of drawing conclusions. While we understand that the two are related, the focus of this practice is purely on building skills with real-world data.

Motivation

Division 1 NCAA women’s volleyball is the highest level of collegiate competition for women’s volleyball in the United States. With well over 300 teams compete at the Division 1 level, there is fierce competition each year as only 64 teams make the post-season Volleyball Championship. The division demands high-level athletic performances, teamwork, and strategic game play from a variety of aspects. With each team having their own strengths and weaknesses, there is no exception of exciting matchups and and shocking results.

In volleyball, a kill is awarded to a player any time their attack is unreturnable by the opposition because it is the direct cause of the opponent not returning the ball. An assist is awarded when a set, pass, or dig to a teammate results in that teammate attacking the ball for a kill.

Data

The data set contains 334 rows and 14 columns. Each row represents a team at the NCAA Division 1 level from the 2022-2023 season.

• Team college of the volleyball team
• Conference conference to which the team belongs
• region region to which the team belongs
• aces_per_set the average amount of balls served that directly lead to a point not including errors by the opponent per set
• assists_per_set the average amount of sets, passes, or digs to a teammate that directly result in a kill per set
• team_attacks_per_set the average amount of times the ball is sent to the other team’s court per set
• blocks_per_set the average amount of times the ball is blocked from being hit on to the teams side per set
• digs_per_set average amount of times the ball is passed by a player successfully after an opponents attack per set
• hitting_pctg total team kills minus team hitting errors all divided by total attempts
• kills_per_set average amount of hits that directly result in a point per set
• opp_hitting_pctg the average hitting percentage of the teams opponent per set
• W the amount of team wins for the season
• L the amount of team losses for the season
• win_loss_pctg the amount of total wins divided by the total matches of the season

Questions

• What variables are most highly correlated with win/loss percentage of a team?
• How are assists and kills related?
• What model is best for predicting win/loss percentage?
