Abstract:
|
In this paper, we discuss two network simulation models for predicting outcomes of matches in UEFA Euro 2016. The two models differ in the way they assign the probabilities for each match as they take different kinds of past records of teams. Through simulations, the approach can be used to answer questions on impact of result of first group stage match, relative strength of groups and analyzing the bias in cup format.
