uPATO—Individual Measures

This chapter contains a set of individual metrics that can be used to analyze the importance of each player in a team sport. The metrics were divided into two main categories: Centrality (Sect. 3.1) and Prestige (Sect. 3.2). Each metric includes a description of a possible interpretation of the metric, and the pseudocode to implement it. Each pseudocode describes the cases (unweighted graphs, unweighted digraphs, weighted graphs, or weighted digraphs) for which it can be used. When the description simply contains graph (or graphs), without any other specifier, it means that the pseudocode is valid for any of the four types of graphs. The included interpretation considers that the connections between the players are the passes performed between them.
