Stuff I so much would like to understand better: Google data scientists claim they have predicted all 16 wins in the World Cups round of 16 correctly. Quote: Our model was built using touch-by-touch data from Opta covering multiple seasons of professional soccer leagues as well as the group rounds of the World Cup. Using data from the many leagues where World Cup players play, we were able to examine how behavior in previous games predicted performance in subsequent games. Our model also relied on two other data sources: (1) a power ranking that was built by BigQuery engineer Jordan Tigani and (2) a subjective measure of team support based on enthusiasm and the number of fans who had traveled to Brazil. This took the place of a simple “home team advantage” in the model. googlecloudplatform.blogspot.ca/2014/07/google-cloud-platform-goes-8-for-8-in-soccer-predictions.html
