2. 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.
