America's Army:
America's Army is a first-person-shooter video game developed by the U.S. Army to give game players a taste of what it's like to be in battle. In this project we are analyzing the behavior of players, teams, and clans in this game. The goal is to understand what strategies the best players and teams are using to win, the impact of clans on team play, and to understand how those strategies could apply to understanding individual and team performance in more general contexts.
As part of this project we are examining the behavior of approximately 83,000 individuals, 500,000 teams, and 3.6 million game instances. Statistical, data mining, and social network techniques are applied to the analysis of this data.
