A quick look at my post archive has reminded me that this weekend marked the two-year anniversary of Soccermetrics. I wasn't able to write a post yesterday because I wasn't near a computer (and there was too much going on yesterday anyway), but I don't think anyone will kick up a fuss about me being […]
I've been getting a lot of traffic from sonicscentral.com, which I thought was yet another website from the Seattle area sending me lots of love. I took a closer look and realized that it's APBRmetrics, which is one of the major basketball analytics websites. Someone asked for sites that were doing analytics-related work for soccer […]
Today has been a very special day for me. I received the Articles of Organization from my lawyer this morning, and as of yesterday my sole proprietorship is now Soccermetrics Research & Consulting, LLC. A lot has happened on the business and technical side since January; I've appeared at the big sports analytics conference in […]
I can't quite believe this has happened — I got top score in the MFLS Prediction League last weekend! When I submitted my score predictions I had a reasonably good feeling about them given the matchups and the scoring trends of the teams. But I couldn't believe it when I saw the final scores come […]
What I'm about to write about won't be news to those of you who attended the MIT conference, but I'll formally announce it on this site. I have started a sole proprietorship to conduct research and consulting related to soccer analytics. Its name is Soccermetrics Research and Consulting. The idea is to perform commissioned research […]
Apparently someone has written an article on the CONCACAF club/league coefficients on Wikipedia. It references both the current set of CONCACAF coefficients and my formulae for calculating them. There are some discrepancies that need to be addressed, however: The league coefficient is explained but the results of the league calculations are not presented. There are […]
I noticed that I had been receiving a flurry of traffic from Québec all afternoon today. I found out that one of the reports at this French Canadian news site called Cyberpresse — the main football writer, actually — linked to one of my Soccer Pythagorean posts and tweeted this: According to the machine translator […]
There are times when I see a burst of visits to a long-ago written post and I ask myself, "Why could possible be the cause of that?" Such an event happened today when I saw a lot of hits on my latest CONCACAF coefficients list. So, thanks to Dave and those of you at Sounder […]
Today is the one-year anniversary of Soccermetrics. It's been a place where I could let my geeky side hang out and explore some interesting questions in the soccer world. I'm always flattered to get readers, but I'm especially pleased to find out about the types of readers this site has attracted over the past year […]
This isn't really soccermetrics-related, but it is about me in a technical field, so I'm posting it here.As a few people know, I work as an aerospace engineer in my day job. I'm also an active member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), which is the premier professional society in my field. […]
