The Use of Momentum-Inspired Features in Pre-Game Prediction Models for the Sport of Ice Hockey

Published in International Journal of Computer Science in Sport

We make a unique contribution to momentum research by proposing a way to quantify momentum with performance indicators (i.e., features). We argue that due to measurable randomness in the NHL, sequential outcomes’ dependence or independence may not be the best way to approach momentum. Instead, we quantify momentum using a small sample of a team’s r...
