Prediction from Logit Model

This term encapsulates the concept of a statistical model making a prediction about the outcome of a match. The model assigns a numerical value representing its prediction for the likelihood of a specific outcome, such as a win, draw, or loss. In the context of football, it's often expressed as a percentage.

Highest Probability Outcome (Max Probe)

In the context of football predictions, this term refers to the prediction made by a model, or in this case, derived from ordered logic, that corresponds with the highest probability outcome. This is the model's best guess, the outcome it considers most likely.

Correct Prediction

In the context of evaluating model accuracy, this refers to comparing a model's predicted outcome to the actual outcome observed in a real-world scenario, such as a football match. If the model's prediction matches the actual result, it's considered a 'correct' prediction.

Model Accuracy

A statistical measure used to evaluate the accuracy of a model's predictions. It is calculated by dividing the number of correct predictions by the total number of predictions made. In the context of predicting football matches, it represents the percentage of games where the model correctly predicted the outcome.

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.
