Study Notes
Logistic Regression Replication
- Jupyter Notebook used to replicate logistic regression model
- Scikit-learn library imported to fit logistic regression model
- Data variables imported and organized
- Binary variable (win/loss) is dependent variable
- Pythagorean win percentage is independent variable
- Model structure similar to linear regression, but uses GLM (Generalized Linear Model)
- Model fits logistic regression to binomial distribution
- Coefficients (constant, regression), standard errors, and p-values obtained
- Calculate probabilities of winning using logistic regression model
- Win/loss variable created based on fitted probabilities
- Evaluate accuracy by comparing fitted vs. actual outcomes
- Confusion matrix used from scikit-learn for performance evaluation
Model Visualization and Improvement
- Data visualized (home vs. away wins)
- Adding home-field advantage as additional explanatory variable
- Evaluated performance with added variable
- Python code for fitting the model is similar to previous examples
- Model coefficients for dummy home variable
- Predicted probabilities obtained
Practical Forecasting Model
- Model performance evaluated in forecasting games (success rate, accuracy)
- Need to use data from before event to fit model (real-time application challenged)
- Model fitted to first half of regular season data used to predict second half
- Parameters obtained from training data set used for forecasting
- Split data into training and test datasets
- NHL regular season data (2017/2018) used for demonstration/analysis of model fitting
- Data extracted for each calendar year (2017 & 2018)
- Logistic regression model fitted
- Fitted values obtained
- Fitted probabilities and binary variables generated from model parameters
