Model Card

RAPM on the per-segment margin of made threes (own minus opponent per 100 possessions), fit only on games whose play-by-play made threes equal the box exactly. The ridge penalty is chosen by game-level cross-validation. Positive values mean a player's minutes raise their team's made threes relative to the opponent's. Held-out check (date split: fit before a date, score later segments; ncaam 2022-23 and 2023-24, ncaaw 2023-24): correlation with the actual per-segment margin 0.087-0.117 for this model, 0.076-0.106 for the event Elo it replaces. Small in absolute terms: a segment holds about one such event.

Validation is computed for team models, APM, RAPM and the event models. This page shows output coverage and site placement for this model.
