Study Notes
Ordered Logit Regression in Python
- Ordered logit regression models outcomes with three or more categories (win, draw, loss).
- It calculates the probability of each outcome based on team values.
- Coefficients (e.g., Beta = 0.76) and standard errors indicate the model's fit.
- P-values near zero suggest statistical significance (e.g., relationship between wages and outcome).
- Home advantage is represented by the constant term in the regression.
- Predicted probabilities of win, draw, or loss are calculated based on the wage ratio, TM ratio, and intercepts.
Regression Boundaries
- Ordered logit regressions generate boundaries between three possible outcomes (win, draw, loss).
- Intercepts define the boundaries between these probability regions.
- Regression coefficients indicate the effect of the independent variable (in this case, wage ratio, TM ratio) on the probability of each outcome.
Model Evaluation and Prediction
- Model coefficients and standard errors provide insights into the model's accuracy.
- Predictions provide estimates of various outcomes based on the input data.
- Standard errors associated with coefficients indicate their precision.
- The model is evaluated by comparing its predictions to the true outcomes.
Brier Score Comparison
- The Brier Score is a measure of prediction accuracy.
- The Brier Score was calculated for both the model and the bookmakers' predictions.
- The model's Brier Score shows a similar accuracy to the bookmakers' predictions.
- The model's predictions are within one to two percent of the bookmakers' predictions in many cases.
Accuracy and Practical Implications
- The model's accuracy is assessed by comparing predictions with actual outcomes, with results usually close to the bookmaker's predictions.
- The model is reliable but does not guarantee profits, as the bookmakers still have an advantage.
- The model demonstrates how wages and team values predict outcomes in soccer.
- Further analysis and testing are indicated for validation outside of the initial dataset.
