2019 US Open Predictions: Doubling Down on the Data

DataRobot Blog

We started with the result of every match (and set scores) for ATP and WTA tour matches from 2010 through 2018. Once we had built this prediction model , we could take the draw of any tournament and simulate the results 100,000 times to find out how often each player would win with that particular draw.

While data scientists were no longer handling Hadoop-sized workloads, they were trying to build predictive models on a different kind of “large” dataset: so-called “unstructured data.” ” There’s as much Keras, TensorFlow, and Torch today as there was Hadoop back in 2010-2012. And it was good.

We have many routine analyses for which the sparsity pattern is closer to the nested case and lme4 scales very well; however, our prediction models tend to have input data that looks like the simulation on the right. Applied Stochastic Models in Business and Industry, 26 (2010): 639-658. [10] bandit problems).
