Bayesian + ELO + Attack/Defense Efficiency
1 ELO Rating System

Dynamically updates team strength ratings based on historical results, adjusted after each match.

ELO_new = ELO_old + K × (S_actual - S_expected)
  • K = 20 (World Cup match weight coefficient)
  • S_expected = 1 / (1 + 10^{(ELO_away - ELO_home)/400})
  • S_actual: 1=Win, 0.5=Draw, 0=Loss
2 Attack/Defense Efficiency Rating

Calculates comprehensive strength based on last 10 matches of attacking/defensive data.

Attack_Rating = (Avg Goals×0.6) + (Avg Shots on Target×0.3) + (Key Passes/10×0.1)
Defense_Rating = 1 / (Avg Conceded×0.7 + Shots on Target Conceded×0.3)
※ All metrics normalized to [0,100] range.
📌 Example: Mexico vs USA (2026 Marquee Match)
🇲🇽 Mexico ELO: 1892 · Attack Rating 87 · Defense Rating 82
🇺🇸 USA ELO: 1835 · Attack Rating 84 · Defense Rating 83
→ Comprehensive strength ratio ≈ 1.083, initial home bias.

⚽ xG Expected Goals Model · Poisson Parameter Estimation

Expected Goals per 90 minutes
📈 Expected Goals Formula
xG_home = α × (Attack_Rating_home / 100) × (Defense_Rating_away / 100) × β

α = tournament average goal coefficient (World Cup 1.42), β = home advantage factor (1.12).

λ_home = (xG_home × Last 5 Goals Trend) + (xG_away × 0.15)

λ_away calculated similarly, with away disadvantage factor 0.92.

📊 Case Study

Mexico hosting USA:

xG_mex = 1.42 × (87/100) × (83/100) × 1.12 ≈ 1.68
xG_usa = 1.42 × (84/100) × (82/100) × 0.92 ≈ 1.45

→ Expected Goals: Mexico 1.68, USA 1.45

※ xG model incorporates micro-features: shot location, shot type, defensive pressure (calibrated via Opta data).

📊 Poisson Distribution · W/D/L Probability Derivation

P(Home Goals = i) = e^{-λ}·λⁱ / i!
🎯 Core Formula

Assume home goals X ~ Poisson(λ_home), away goals Y ~ Poisson(λ_away), independent.

P(Home Win) = Σ_{i>j} P(X=i)·P(Y=j)
P(Draw) = Σ_{k≥0} P(X=k)·P(Y=k)
P(Away Win) = Σ_{i

Truncated at max goals ≤ 10, accuracy error <0.001.

📊 Calculation Example (λ_home=1.68, λ_away=1.45)
P(0-0) = e^{-1.68}·e^{-1.45} = 0.186×0.235 ≈ 0.0437
After iteration:
Home Win ≈ 40.3% · Draw ≈ 26.1% · Away Win ≈ 33.6%

⚠️ Raw xG-based probabilities need model adjustment.

※ Poisson assumes goal independence. Covariance correction introduced for high-intensity matches (last 3 H2H goal correlation).

🎲 Odds → Implied Probability → Deviation Calibration

Margin Removal + Odds Bias Correction
📐 Margin Removal
Raw Implied Probability = 1 / Odds
Fair Probability = Raw Implied / Total Market Sum

Total Market Sum = Σ(1/Home + 1/Draw + 1/Away) ≈ 1.05 ~ 1.12

→ Market implied probability after removing bookmaker margin.

⚖️ Probability Deviation Fusion

Final Probability = α × Model Probability + (1-α) × Market Implied

α = 0.65 (base model weight) + dynamic adjustment (based on recent model error)

Deviation = Market Implied - Model Probability → Positive means market overestimates the outcome.

🎯 Live Example (Mexico vs USA current odds)
Home 2.10 → Implied 44.0% | Draw 3.40 → 27.2% | Away 3.30 → 28.0%
Model Probability: Home 42.5% / Draw 28.3% / Away 29.2%
→ Final fused (α=0.7): Home 43.0% / Draw 28.3% / Away 28.7%
Deviation: Home +1.0% (slight market overheat) / Draw -1.1% (value zone)

🧠 Ensemble Model & Dynamic Probability Calibration

XGBoost + DNN + Poisson → Weighted Fusion
⚙️ Three-Model Weighting Mechanism
P_final = w₁·P_xgb + w₂·P_dnn + w₃·P_poisson

Base weights: w₁=0.40, w₂=0.35, w₃=0.25

Weights updated dynamically based on last 10 matches prediction residuals:

w_i_new = w_i / (1 + Mean Absolute Error_i)

(Then renormalized to sum = 1)

📉 Platt Calibration & Upset Index

Temperature Scaling reduces overfitting:

P_calibrated = 1 / (1 + exp( - (logit(P_raw) / T) ))

T optimized on validation set, current T = 1.12.

Upset Index = (P_Draw + P_Away) × (1 - Market Heat Factor)

High Upset Index triggers high-value odds identification.

    prob_home = [poisson.pmf(i, lam_home) for i in range(max_goals+1)]
    prob_away = [poisson.pmf(i, lam_away) for i in range(max_goals+1)]
