your formulas predict the correct role for all my players
but for some of them the salary is quite different (in %)
especially for this guy (5789231) because his predicted salary is actually higher than the real one, so it's not about hidden decimals
his skills didn't change since the salary update

i hope it can be helpful

PS i know i couldn't link him, but i put him in the TL (at a very HIGH price for his skills so nobody's gonna buy him) only to post him there

his real salary is 6089 and the predicted salary is 6409, this is only 5.2% off. It doesn't matter whether it's higher or lower, sublevels can explain both directions, because the model will unavoidably adapt its coefficients to the average of the sublevels it encounters in the training data, and this average is likely somewhere close to the middle of the range.


ooops sorry i'm an idiot, i typed the wrong actual salary in the excel file i'm using... forget about it

Hi Joseph. I would be happy to give you all of my game statistics for your research. However, I am not sure the best way to do this. Let me know. I have kept a lot of data. Unfortunately, I never kept records of team enthusiasm until now (from your BBmail to me) so I don't know how helpful it will be.

Anyway, let me know how I can help you.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.
