I have written a lot about different models for forecasting football results, and provided a lot of R code along the way. Especially popular are my posts about the Dixon-Coles model<\/a>, where people still post comments, four years since I first wrote them. Because of the interest in them, and the interest in some of the other models I have written about, I decided to tidy up my code and functions a bit, and make an R package out of it. The result is the goalmodel R package<\/a>. The package let you fit the ordinary Poisson model<\/a>, which was one of the first models I wrote about, the Dixon-Coles model, The Negative-Binomial model, and you can also use the adjustment I wrote about in my previous update<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The package contains a function to fit the different models, and you can even combine different aspects of the different models into the same model. You can for instance use the Dixon-Coles adjustment together with a negative binomial model. There is also a range of different methods for making prediction of different kinds, such as expected goals and over\/under. <\/p>\n

The package can be downloaded from github<\/a>. It is still just the initial version, so there are probably some bugs and stuff to be sorted out, but go and try it out and let me know what you think!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
