Economics of tennis: new empirical tests of minimax theorem
Kuncová, Barbora ; Hudík, Marek (advisor) ; Chytilová, Helena (referee)
The objective of the thesis is to test empirically the Minimax Theorem with the help of real data from tennis matches. The thesis is based on the assumption that the serve is the crucial factor of a game for a player and that it influences the length of the following exchange. Based on these assumptions a hypothesis is deduced stating that according to the minimax hypothesis, a server plays the more, the shorter the exchanges following serve are. The hypothesis is first verified by a regression analysis and then, to strengthen the validity of its results, with the help of the Pearson's chi-square goodness-of-fit test of equality of two distributions. The hypothesis is finally confirmed based on these two methods.
