Do top players and teams use statistical analysis/data scientific approaches of their own or opponents play at the top level. I'm just asking since I'm trying to analyse how I go in tournaments, trying to identify my weaknesses, areas mainly in need of improvement and was wondering about how much theory and application there is at the top level of bridge - as is happening in other sports now
At a simple level I suppose I'm looking at the changes in mean, variance on different types of hands, different types of tournaments, different sets of opponents etc. Mainly however, just analysing my own hands and trying to get rid of the worst x % of hands, given the skewed nature of the distributions. I dont have enough data on other players to analyse more broadly. I'm also considering analysing time of day, declare vs defense, seat, vulnerability, IMPs/MPs etc etc.
I would be very interested to know if people do it outside their own private and personal analysis

Note, its quite difficult searching for this stuff since there is a huge amount of information about analytics in relation to bridges, contracts, performance, bridging gaps etc. The few reference relating to contract bridge, analytics and performance is the performance of simulation models, not performance of the players
