Quantitative analysis of 2017 fiba zone championships based on a discriminant regression model

This study attempts to ascertain whether there are differences or similarities in the way basketball is played across the world by observing four top-tier competitions on different continents. The results show that the 2017 continental zone championships are different in four variables. On the other hand, the field goals attempted variable proved to be the variable derived in all first iterations of the absolute indicator model, but also in three continental championships in the relative model, Africa being the exception. When it comes to the steals percentage of the efficiency variable, as a rule it showed a difference between the winning and losing teams only in the American championship. The very existence of the percentage of personal foul efficiency variable, which did show a difference, is quite disputable, although the results of this study indicate that further research should attempt to find an objective measurement method for this variable.
