Min-Max transformation for the measurement of sports performance through PIR

The objective of this work is to analyze the usefulness to transform the information to measure sports performance. This analysis is carried out within the field of basketball due to the existing tradition in this sport in data collection, although it is easily adaptable to any other sport. As a result, a modification of the Performance Index Rating (PIR) is proposed to measure sports performance. The results obtained are illustrated from the statistics of Larry Bird, Earvin Johnson, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant throughout their careers and can serve to optimize the process of player renewal/firing/hiring in the design of a roster or to aid decision-making in awarding individual awards as best player of a season.
