Meeting 7: December 2nd - QMIND-Team/Sabermetrics GitHub Wiki

2nd December Meeting Minutes

• This week: moving files into different folders and change directory system.
  • Fix and refactor code to prevent import errors and bugs.
• Have a working MARCEL model by the 20th.
• Focus on documentation
  • Tutorial video/article
  • Blog entries
• Feedback:
  • Better documentation
  • Uniform code
  • Git workflow
• Heading (the next month):
  • Predict wins from runs scored and runs allowed.
• We have simple stats and saber stats which can be transformed to other saber stats. These saber stats could be passed through our MARCEL model to get future saber stats.
• What we need to find out: The middle step: the step between our predicted saber stats and getting runs scored/allowed.
• Some approaches: wOBA – pulls all offensive stats and gives them appropriate weights. wRAA – tells us if the person scores above or below league average. These can be used to predict runs scored.
• Find plate appearances/at bats for batters and innings pitched for pitchers. This will tell us the chance of getting runs or conceding runs.
• Research must be focused on predicting runs scored and runs conceded.
  • Find other models that we could use and stats
  • Look into fangraphs: https://www.fangraphs.com/library/getting-started/ for getting a deeper insight into sabermetrics.
• Find out how to predict runs allowed.
• During holidays: Slack meetings – issues on github – assign members
• Get a wiki page up with resources and research completed.
• Stay off the code base until the directory system has been completely refactored.
