Bayesian hierarchical model for the prediction of football results
نویسندگان
چکیده
The problem of modelling football data has become increasingly popular in the last few years and many different models have been proposed with the aim of estimating the characteristics that bring a team to lose or win a game, or to predict the score of a particular match. We propose a Bayesian hierarchical model to address both these aims and test its predictive strength on data about the Italian Serie A championship 1991-1992. To overcome the issue of overshrinkage produced by the Bayesian hierarchical model, we specify a more complex mixture model that results in better fit to the observed data. We test its performance using an example about the Italian Serie A championship 2007-2008.

Analysis of Hierarchical Bayesian Models for Large Space Time Data of the Housing Prices in Tehran
Housing price data is correlated to their location in different neighborhoods and their correlation is type of spatial (location). The price of housing is varius in different months, so they also have a time correlation. Spatio-temporal models are used to analyze this type of the data. An important purpose of reviewing this type of the data is to fit a suitable model for the spatial-temporal an...

We present a Bayesian network (BN) model for forecasting Association Football match outcomes. Both objective and subjective information are considered for prediction, and we demonstrate how probabilities transform at each level of model component, whereby predictive distributions follow hierarchical levels of Bayesian inference. The model was used to generate forecasts for each match of the 201...
