Hi again,
I have updated the papers with the valuable contributions of Dick Mays (MMM) and James Piette (SCAB and SHTAB indexes). I have also added some new additional correlation analysis between MMM and other linear weights indexes.

Hello!
I would like to share a new publication. This is a series of three papers about player evaluation metrics.
In my blog: http://basket-research.blogspot.com/ I show the abstracts of the three articles, and the links to a version of the papers. These papers have been accepted for publication in the "Revista Internacional de Derecho y Gestión del Deporte", and will be published shortly.
Papers are written in Spanish, but you can try to translate them to English (Thanks Crow) using: http://translate.google.com/#
I know many people in this forum have been searching for a complete review, for example:
http://sonicscentral.com/apbrmetrics/vi ... php?t=2527
The series of articles I share with you is a comprehensive review of more than 200 systems to evaluate player performance, the use of some of these metrics in official competitions around the world, and a discussion about the adequacy of some of these metrics (mainly focused in the systems used by official competitions)
I know probably this revision is incomplete. I only focus my review in the system used in the last 10 years. I provide links for each system in order to get further information.
Please, be free to give me any feedback. These 3 articles are still available to be modified with minor changes before the final publication. Consequently, if you think you can provide any information to improve them, do not hesitate to contact me.
I know that Spanish language is a barrier for many of you, but unfortunately, I have no time to translate these papers to English. Anyway, I think these papers could be a nice resource for many of the APBRcommunity, and could help you in your analyses and understanding of basketball.
I would like to thank many people have collaborated with me in this research. All these people are named in the articles. However, again, thank you very much for your collaboration. These papers would not have been possible without your help. I am in debt with you.

You are a good example to really dig into the on-line research and see what it offers regarding questions, methods and findings.
After noting the findings from that search related to overall player performance measures, you then offer your own investigation at the level of specific stats. On your blog you say "Results show that there is no lineal association between the minutes played and the different per-minute normalized categories as: points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks."
Alright. But I wonder though if you have or are willing to go even further and look at "Offensive Rating" or TS% per minute. Same pattern or different?
Or another look (beyond those already done by previous APBR researchers) at these efficiency measures at different Usage levels instead of minutes.
Or see what relationships exist between level of minutes played, usage and efficiency when all three are in the model.

Thanks Crow, all these are very interesting research questions for further research.
I think that, in the case of TS%, results would be similar. But this should be empirically proved.
