Augmenting adjusted plus-minus in soccer with FIFA ratings

A Shot Quality Adjusted Plus-minus for the Nhl

We explore two regression models for creating an adjusted plus-minus statistic for the NHL. We compare an OLS regression models and a penalized gamma-lasso regression model. The traditional plus-minus metric is a simple marginal statistic that allocates a +1 to players for scoring a goal and a -1 for allowing a goal according to whether they were on the ice. This is a very noisy and uninformati...

Using FIFA Soccer video game data for soccer analytics

Soccer has become the most popular sport in the world over the last century, but very little is known about its structure. One of the main reasons for that is the lack of a large-scale dataset. Despite the sport being constantly discussed and recorded worldwide, in every season there are several events that neither specialists nor fans can characterize or predict accurately. In this paper, we p...

Plus minus lid syndrome with ataxia.

Plus minus lid syndrome is an ocular syndrome characterized by unilateral ptosis and contralateral lid retraction. Also when the ipsilateral lid is raised manually, the contralateral retracted lid does not revert. This patient presented with features of plus minus lid syndrome with ataxia due to a vascular mesencephalic lesion.

Search for ultraflat polynomials with plus and minus one coefficients

It is not known whether there exist polynomials with plus and minus one coefficients that are almost constant on the unit circle (called ultraflat). Extensive computations described in this paper strongly suggest such polynomials do not exist, and lead to conjectures about the precise degree to which flatness can be approached according to various criteria. The evidence shows surprisingly rapid...
