We do compute them separately, but for now we're keeping that part proprietary (sorry), and just publishing the total values.

Updated the numbers today.

No updates in over two weeks. I think it's looking like JE got picked up.

If this turns out to be true, then we'll update IPV every 1-2 days so that there's a rapm-based model out there in the public domain in the interim. I know that ours isn't open source and hence not as valuable to you guys, but hopefully it could be a tad of a stopgap until someone else puts a pure rapm out there.

If it's permanently down, I'll make an effort to get RAPM and A4PM up in the next couple of months. I have the data to do it. Just a matter of finding the time.

Would you consider releasing off/def splits?

Numbers updated through last night's games. We also added a tad more detail on the model since many people were asking. As of now, we think it's not a good idea to give the offense vs defense splits, but we're still discussing it and it's reasonably possible that we put up the splits after the break. From now on (I promise this time), we're going to update every 2-3 days.

Briefly, here's everyone we have over 2.0 on D as of tonight, in order from highest downwards.
  • Kevin Garnett
    Tim Duncan
    Dwight Howard
    Omer Asik
    Andre Iguodala
    Larry Sanders
    Josh Smith
    Joakim Noah
    Taj Gibson
    Paul George
    Marc Gasol
    Tony Allen
    Nene Hilario
    Gerald Wallace
    Tyson Chandler
    Ekpe Udoh
    Amir Johnson
    Serge Ibaka
    Kosta Koufos
    Paul Millsap
    Luol Deng

Updated through the Break.

Additionally, we are considering adding one more person to our analytical team. Our models are based primarily on Bayesian methods and/or statistical signal processing. Experts in either discipline who may be interested in joining our team can send a resume and CV to the email address on our site. Applicants should be proficient in R, OpenBUGS, MySQL, and Python.

Thanks for the update. I do hope at some point you're able to post the offense/defense splits. There is a lack of good defensive metrics available, and especially with xRAPM out of action yours would be a great stat to refer to.

Dirk is a +4 on IPV despite the lowest TS% and EFG% of his career after his rookie season. He got an .098 on winshares /48.

Nene at +3.

Amare a tiny fraction below neutral.

Jeff Green still -3 and in the bottom 20%. Austin Rivers in bottom 3%.

I imagine that's due to his prior. I have Dirk as neutral defensively, and -0.7 offensively. That's mostly due to his crap performance this season, plus his prior in my model wasn't that great to begin with.

How do you rate Chandler, Iguodala, and Asik defensively?
