Abstract:
|
Odds ratios and logistic models arise naturally in paired comparison settings. That makes them very useful in sports to explain and predict winning and other successes and failures. These models may emerge from theoretical considerations in some sports. Applications concern baseball (e.g. Bill James' "Pythagorean" formula), basketball, and tennis, and how different estimates of model parameters can stem from different subsets of the data. Collateral issues include developing standard deviations for such models.
