NTangible is building an analytics platform for college sports organizations and other clubs, with the core goal of measuring the deviation between athletes' actual performance and expected performance under high-pressure situations, namely the "clutch" factor.
When evaluating the "clutch" factor, insufficient sample size is one of the biggest technical obstacles; a player may get only a few dozen clutch opportunities in an entire season, and differences in shooting percentage may be driven entirely by randomness, requiring methods such as Bayesian shrinkage to reduce small-sample estimation bias.
