Avoiding Bias Due to Nonrandom Scheduling When Modeling Trends in Home-Field Advantage
Andrew T. Karl
Existing approaches for estimating home-field advantage (HFA) include modeling the difference between home and away scores as a function of the difference between home and away tea…
Multivariate Generalized Linear Mixed Models for Joint Estimation of Sporting Outcomes
Jennifer E. Broatch, Andrew T. Karl
This paper explores improvements in prediction accuracy and inference capability when allowing for potential correlation in team-level random effects across multiple game-level res…
Efficient Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Multiple Membership Linear Mixed Models, with an Application to Educational Value-Added Assessments
Andrew T. Karl, Yan Yang, Sharon L. Lohr
The generalized persistence (GP) model, developed in the context of estimating ``value added'' by individual teachers to their students' current and future test scores, is one of t…
The Sensitivity of College Football Rankings to Several Modeling Choices
Andrew T. Karl
This paper proposes a multiple-membership generalized linear mixed model for ranking college football teams using only their win/loss records. The model results in an intractable,…
