Re: Making A Statistical Model For Men's Basketball Attendan

Post by EvanJ »

I added a day game or night game variable to make seven independent variables. Since most weekday games are night games and most weekend games are day games, this did affect my model much except for weekday afternoon games or weekend night games. I also corrected the day of the week for two games I had made a mistake about earlier. My new model did slightly better than my old model. I used my models to predict the last 192 home games, but the inputs excluded the 3 home games after I made the old model. The two models predicted the same attendance 2 times, the new model was closer 100 times, and the old model was closer 90 times. The new model was better by 3.9 fans per game.
