| Title of Talk | Matrix Rankings as Predictors of IIAC Basketball |
| Abstract | The largest sports betting event of the year in the United States is during the March Madness tournament. For my research project we are looking at different methods to predict the outcomes of the tournament. In this talk, I will discuss several matrix-based methods that we have considered and compare the accuracy of the predictions for each method at the end of the regular season to the outcome of the tournament for men’s Basketball in the IIAC. |
