Hierarchical Bayesian Analysis: Binomial Proportions Dwight Howard’s Game by Game Free Throw Success Rate – 2013/2014 NBA Season Data Source:

Data/Model Description n = 70 NBA games during 2013/14 season that Dwight Howard attempted at least one free throw (aka foul shot) Assume that for each game, Mr. Howard has an underlying “true” success rate for free throws,  i, which can vary due to many environmental factors (although the actual process is the same: undefended shot 15’ from the frame of the backboard) For the i th game, Mr. Howard takes n i free throw attempts, successfully making y i attempts Assume: Random Variable Y i ~ Binomial( n i,  i )

Binomial Likelihood for Y|  Bin(n=10,  = 0.25)Bin(n=10,  = 0.50)Bin(n=10,  = 0.90)

Modeling the Variation in Success Rates -  i Prior Distribution: Beliefs on possible values of  i and how “likely” they are. Important questions:  What is the range of possible values? Between 0 and 1  What is the “expected value”? 0.2? 0.5? 0.8?  What is a range of values we may want to put most of the density between? ( )? ( )? ( )?  What is the shape of the distribution? The beta family of densities give a natural (and conjugate) distribution with very much flexibility for the shape of the prior.

Beta Prior for  Beta(1,1) - Uniform Beta(3,2) Beta(5,5)

Prior Distributions for ,  The parameters of the Beta distribution that acts as the prior distribution for the individual game  i must be specified, or given prior distributions themselves. The mean of the distribution of the  s is  =  /(  +  ) which can lead to choices for the means of the priors for  and  Suppose we want to choose distributions for  and  so that the prior mean is around 0.60 (he is a center and tall). We want to allow for a wide range of possibilities, permitting the data to have a larger impact on the posterior densities of the  s and  Exponential Distributions:  ~ EXP(0.33)  ~ EXP(0.50)

Summary of Results -  i The table includes Lowest, Middle, and Highest 4 game specific posterior success rates. Note that the lower game specific success rates are increased from the MLE Pi-hat = Y/n to the overall mean (with the amount of shift highest when n i is small). Similarly higher game specific success rates are shrunk toward the overall mean.
