Prediction of Handball Matches with Statistically Enhanced Learning via Estimated Team Strengths
Florian Felice, Christophe Ley
We propose a Statistically Enhanced Learning (aka. SEL) model to predict handball games. Our Machine Learning model augmented with SEL features outperforms state-of-the-art models…
Ranking Handball Teams from Statistical Strength Estimation
Florian Felice
In this work, we present a methodology to estimate the strength of handball teams using a statistical method. We propose the use of the Conway-Maxwell-Poisson distribution to model…
Statistically Enhanced Learning: a feature engineering framework to boost (any) learning algorithms
Florian Felice, Christophe Ley, Andreas Groll +1
Feature engineering is of critical importance in the field of Data Science. While any data scientist knows the importance of rigorously preparing data to obtain good performing mod…
Scalable Econometrics on Big Data -- The Logistic Regression on Spark
Aurélien Ouattara, Matthieu Bulté, Wan-Ju Lin +6
Extra-large datasets are becoming increasingly accessible, and computing tools designed to handle huge amount of data efficiently are democratizing rapidly. However, conventional s…
