Ratings · 2017

Dimension	Value	Unit	σ
OE	0.91	points per possession	0.12
DE	1.13	points per possession	0.12
ME	-0.22	points per possession	0.17
PACE	67.69	possessions per game	4.64

At season 2017's latest cutoff (2017-04-04 01:20), with 30 games played. OE is points scored per possession, DE points allowed per possession, and the adjusted margin (ME) is their difference — so 0.47 reads as +0.47 pts per possession, not 0.47 points. PACE is possessions per game, a count, not a per-possession rate. The σ column shares its row's unit.

AdjPace (possessions per game)

Walk-forward cutoff, season 2017

AdjPace (smoothed)
±2σ, the model's own uncertainty
warm-up gate (18 games)
D-I average at the season's latest cutoff

AdjPace at each of 101 walk-forward cutoffs (train_cutoff_at) in season 2017. Hover or tap for the value, its ±2σ and games played at that cutoff. The shaded band is the model's own ±2σ (AdjPace_sigma) — it is widest early, when few games have been played. The dashed rule is the mean warm-up gate: left of it the team had played fewer than 18 games, where the rating has not yet settled (a rating is a mean, so it gates on the mean curve; the prediction-σ gate is later or equal at 18). This line is the smoothed rating: an exponentially-weighted causal average of this team's own history (alpha 0.75 on each factor), fitted once on five seasons and frozen — it removes cutoff-to-cutoff fit noise without pulling the team toward the league mean.
