Model Card
Model of the form points_i = intercept + off_i + def_j + beta_home. This is the two-parameter team baseline without pace adjustment.
Validation on this page uses stored season-level full-fit rows plus strict weekly rolling holdouts. Rolling ranks are based on average weekly log loss in the selected league/season. Current scope: All Games. All scored games in the selected league and season. AP Poll is excluded here.
Selected League / Season
Use the selected scope to inspect this model against peers and across rolling weekly holdouts.
| Full Fit AUC | 0.521 (#7) · 756 games |
|---|---|
| 7-Day Holdout Log Loss | 0.692 (#6) · 4 games |
| Rolling Avg Log Loss | 0.664 (#3) · 22 windows |
| Window Wins | 1 · 62.1% rolling accuracy |
Full-fit AUC is only available where the older stored-rating batch produced that model for the selected scope. Recency and ensemble families can still have valid 7-day and rolling holdout results even when the full-fit columns are blank.
