We (at Action Sports) have developed an aggressive approach to model soccer including:  Generate a discrete density function(s), derived from the mean and variance of goals scored,  Optimize the data look-back period to enhance predictability and minimize noise,  Incorporated Monté Carlo simulation and Logistic Regression to calculate an a priori probability of winning,  Integrated Bayesian statistics to extrapolate an a posterioria probability of winning. Results were “off the charts”. Palisade tool utilized included and not limited to:  @ Risk o Distribution fitting o Monté Carlo simulation  Stat Tools o Logistic regression o Multiple regression  Evolver o Filter to optimization  Alternative maximization  Profits  Return on investment o Variable change, profit as a constraint rather than the objective function
