BPM - RPM Blend
Posted: Thu Jun 08, 2017 4:57 pm

I am again looking at blends. I think I'll go with just a blend of BPM and RPM but I might make it broader in a later edition. This time I am going to do an offensive blend, one for defense, then a roll-up. My initial thought are to use blends of 60% OBPM plus 40% ORPM and 35% DBPM plus 65% DRPM to recognize where imo each is better / worse. But before I lock in and print results, does anyone have opinions to share on those ratios? I'll be using Knarsu's file.

No issue with it, but curious as to your weighting OBPM more than ORPM. Any specific reason?

Objective?

I gave OBPM a bigger share because there is some feeling that box score metrics can "get" direct offensive impact pretty well. This is arguable, so I asked for feedback. I knew I wanted to weight DRPM more, maybe even exclusively, because I regard DBPM to be very poor due to the way it handles shot defense and risk taking in general. I gave DBPM some weight because of the blend concept / impulse. I turned to offense and did something similar, perhaps to keep it a blend that drew fairly strongly from both without going to exactly equal partners, something I've done before. I consider these to be subjective judgments but as "objective" as I could make them quickly. Ideally these weights would be found by regression. If someone wants to do a best fit analysis for these 4 elements I would be very interested in the assist. These is "ultimate" solution, yet. Just a quick start to something that could be refined. There should be some blend for inspection. This or better.

I didn't mean to doubt it's objectiveness. Your reasoning sounds fair. I just wanted to know your exact purpose
. I mean like predicting wins, predicting spread, individual player impact...

Here the focus is player impact with player impact measured in as impact on team plus minus while on court.

I'd think the optimal weight on each ingredient in a blend would be that which best predicts (retrodicts) team point differential from one year to the next.

Am I wrong, but doesn't RPM include box score metrics? Wasn't BPM created in a way to best correlate to RPM? If so, wouldn't this maybe just be sort of double counting BPM (assuming the box score weights of BPM somewhat mirror the weights in RPM)?
That being said, it may smooth the crazier outliers of either method, like almost blends obviously do. Westbrook will probably still look like the GOAT with the blend, because he's off the charts in BPM.

BPM was regressed against RAPM, so not quite the same as RPM. The RPM formula isn't publicly available, so while it probably uses ESPN's own version of BPM, including BPM in the weighting shouldn't be a problem.

Fwiw, here is the above specified version of a BPM-RPM blend:

538 says they're moving to a 2/3 RPM, 1/3 BPM blend for 2017-18 per

Big reversal. Almost identical to what I did above on defensive side. Offense is different but I can live with their choice.

FWIW, I do think Dan had a good point. I asked J.E. a little while ago how much weight he thought the box score prior has in RPM by the end of the season for a typical player and he estimated it to be around 50%, which implies the RAPM portion would also be around 50%. I believe the exact amount would vary by each player because the amount of weight the prior has depends on how many possessions they've played.
That means if you are using a blend of 2/3 RPM and 1/3 BPM and the typical player's RPM makeup is approximately 50% RAPM and 50% box score prior, then the real breakdown of that blend would be roughly 2/3 Box Score (BPM & box score prior) and 1/3 RAPM.
Granted it was just one season's worth of projections, but given that 538's BPM only projections performed much worse than their previous iteration, I don't think giving approximately 2/3 weight to box score data and only 1/3 weight to RAPM is necessarily the right way to go. I think this especially holds true for defense since box score info is very lacking and often misleading when measuring impact on that end (i.e. chasing blocks at the expense of good positioning or constantly gambling for steals). Of course the only way to really test this would be to retrodict past seasons and see how well the individual metrics and various blends do at predicting team point differential using Y-1 metrics. If I find time to do this at some point I'll share the results.

Those are important observations.
2/3rds effectively BPM and just 1/3rd RAPM is not that far off Dan Rosenbaum's initial blend. It is modestly more RAPM and probably justified given the improvement of RAPM over APM.
There is rationale to test several or many blends as projections and as retrodictions.
