Background Nonlinear Casual Resource Analysis (NCRA) is a task analysis and performance prediction methodology, enabling realization of performance models as depicted in Figure 1 on the next slide (Kondraske, 1988; Carollo, 1998; Fischer, 2002; Gettman et al., 2003). NCRA can be used to predict which teams are more likely to make it to the Major League Baseball World Series. UTA Sensors and Applications REU 2012 Sunday, December 02, 2018

Data The last 10 teams to win the World Series make up the top 11 team payrolls in the league. The last 20 teams to make it to the World Series led the league in all batting stats. The last 18 teams to make it to the World Series made up the top 5 win percentages for their respective league. UTA Sensors and Applications REU 2010 Sunday, December 02, 2018
Next Steps Continue to look for data to use for examples. Create scatter plots to present our data with. UTA Sensors and Applications REU 2010 Sunday, December 02, 2018
