Abstract | |||||||||||||||
| This paper investigates home advantage (HA) in Australian netball. Tradition measures of HA for whole competitions, such as the percentage of games won by home teams and alternative measures, such as the average margin of victory (in goals) for the home team, are calculated. Individual HAs for each team are obtained with a linear model, which takes account of teams sharing venues, using least squares methods. It is shown that HA in netball is small in comparison to other sports. | |||||||||||||||
