“For every reaction, there must be an equal or opposite reaction” This is something that especially applies to doing something such as opponent adjustments for any power rating system or model.

Posted on January 30, 2021January 30, 2021 by admin

Since January 8, the Blender has performed the worst overall season to date on Totals. Today as I was experimenting with some things I noticed that I had trained the Blender Regression Model on the wrong dataset. I am not saying this change is all of a sudden going to make it amazing, but the…
