MODELLING SOME NORWEGIAN SOCCER DATA
David R. Brillinger · WORLD SCIENTIFIC eBooks · 2007
Results of Norwegian Elite Division soccer games are studied for the year 2003. Previous writers have modelled the number of goals a given team scores in a game and then moved on to evaluating the probabilities of a win, a tie and a loss. However in this work the probabilities of win, tie and loss are modelled directly. There are attempts to improve the fit by including various explanatories.
