I'm working on baseball right now. I'm starting off with a model of wins and losses. I have found another problem with modeling wins and losses. Teams that...
I do use Margin of Victory. I am of the opinion that ignoring MOV is ignoring a very informative chunk of data, which is a statistical no-no. My MOV is capped,...
