Towards smart-data: Improving predictive accuracy in long-term football team performance

作者:

Highlights:

• Illustrates the reasoning towards a Smart-Data approach.

• Towards Smart-Data which aims to improve the quality of a dataset.

• How Smart-Data is used to predict changes in long-term football team performance.

• Provides a novel attribution study of the factors most influencing team performance.

• Partly addresses the cause of the favourite-longshot bias observed in bookies odds.
