Wayne L. Winston studies how to apply data analysis and mathematical modeling to sports and business problems. His work covers topics such as evaluating athlete and team performance across sports like basketball, baseball, soccer, and football, investigating statistical questions like the 'hot hand' streak phenomenon, and building spreadsheet-based tools for business decision-making. Much of his output takes the form of books and educational materials that teach analytics methods.
Publication activity was concentrated in 2019 (largely book chapters released together) with only a few outputs in other years, and no recorded publications after 2022, indicating a slowing pace recently.
