Model Card
Same two-parameter points model as Points Off/Def, but with recency weighting. Useful for testing whether newer offensive and defensive form should move faster than season-long estimates.
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 games |
|---|---|
| 7-Day Holdout Log Loss | 0.762 (#13) · 18 games |
| Rolling Avg Log Loss | 0.618 (#4) · 26 windows |
| Window Wins | 0 · 66.0% 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.
