Gameplan Science
Sports analytics should be more Bayesian. Gameplan science uses Bayesian methods to recover latent team-strength parameters for offense and defense
- This is a bespoke model that extends traditional Bayesian methods of team strengths. Allowing for parameterization by season-week and a team's offense and defense
- It also is the first to return posterior conditional point distributions given the model parameters
- This approach allows us to compare organizations across seasons and weeks to find who really had the best team.
