The thesis aimed to build a test of legal knowledge, as well as build a measure of emotional traits, identify the discriminatory connotations, identify the classification of referees, as well as identify the odds ratios.
The thesis recommended the necessity of relying on the variables involved in discriminant analysis, as well as using this method on other sports.
