Interpretable Machine Learning for Football Performance Analysis: Evidence of Limited Transferability from Elite Leagues to University Competition

1. 1Collect and preprocess football performance data from elite leagues and university competitions
2. 2Train machine learning models on elite league data and evaluate their performance on university competition data
3. 3Apply techniques such as feature importance and partial dependence plots to interpret the models and identify key performance determinants
4. 4Compare the interpretability of models across different competition levels and identify potential biases
5. 5Refine and adapt models to improve their transferability and reliability in university competition settings

Data scientists and machine learning engineers working in sports analytics can benefit from this study to improve their models' interpretability and transferability across different competition levels. This knowledge can be applied to inform coaching decisions and improve team performance

💡 Interpretability of machine learning models in football performance analysis may not be reliable when transferring from elite leagues to university competition, highlighting the need for careful model refinement and adaptation
