APBRmetrics

Hi, just to understand better because I haven't attempted something like this before. I guess by RAPM you mean regularized adjuststed plus/minus. So you are trying to regress Y (predict) shot attempts per 60 minute (as a way of predicting game outcome?) from the "dummy" X variables you ha...

How exactly did you go about calculating the prior? Did you use box metrics in a given season to calculate the "prior" for that same season? If so, was this calculated through some sort of linear regression that attempts to "predict" a player's RAPM in a given season using box me...

I don't think it's the perfect approach, but I just have used them as a pre and post-processing step. Basically subtract out the prior from the target variable, run the regression, and then add back in the prior. I only use that with a very generic type of prior, because it's hard to validate. Plea...

For those who aren’t familiar with hockey, it is very similar to basketball from the perspective of RAPM: 5 skaters are constantly playing against one another and RAPM is run using a matrix with dummy variables denoting whether ...
