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 0.533 (#1) · 285 games
Rolling Avg Log Loss 0.573 (#7) · 14 windows
Window Wins 0 · 68.9% 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.
