Quote: | I have a further thought, which is to apply a multilevel model to be able to handle thinner slices of the data. The issue is that, unless sample sizes are huge, the adjustments for the abilities of other players and other teams will be noisy. Multilevel modeling should help smooth out this variation and allow for adjusting for more factors, or for adjusting for the same factors for shorter time intervals. Sort of like the work of Val Johnson on adjusting grade point averages for the different abilities of students taking different courses. |

In the latest version of DanVal, I actually do a little bit of the multi-level modeling (although I had never heard of that term). I allow the ratings of players to vary as the get older and gain experience. |
