The record for most goals scored in a World Cup tournament is 172, but that could be broken by the time the group stages wrap ...
Abstract: The Poisson-binomial probability density function (pdf) describes the numbers of successes in N independent trials, when the individual probabilities of success vary across trials. Its use ...
The word 'statistics' has two meanings—the use of numbers to describe whole patterns of activity (for example, baseball statistics), and the analytic methods that allow manipulation of such data. The ...
Hello. Learning modern wisdom from a page of history, this is Today in History. Today, June 21, is also the day a very important figure in the history of mathematics and statistics was born. His name ...
Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the performance of a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) assisted large-scale network by characterizing the coverage probability and the average achievable ...
A team of astrophysicists has just published in Nature a finding that calls into question one of the pillars of modern ...
What are each national team’s chances of winning the World Cup? We’ve built a statistical model to try to answer that question rigorously. The model works in two steps: first we measure each team’s ...
Final pre-match blend: market odds (de-vigged) 40% / ML ensemble 40% / Poisson 15% / form 5%. Per-target models (research-driven, all backtested on held-out 2025–26): Target Baseline New model Method ...
This project uses historical Fifa World Cup data, feature engineering, and trained Random Forest models to estimate the expected goals and create realistic score probabilities.

Log-linear Poisson models provide a principled framework for modeling such count data through covariate-dependent intensity functions. This study develops a Bayesian formulation of the Poisson ...
