Model family

Definition

The method a model is built on. Families group models made the same way, such as sharp-money signals, ratings and fundamentals, or machine-learning classifiers, so you can see whether an approach works across leagues rather than one model in one league.

Related terms

  • Strategy — One model on one league and one market, with its own separate record.
  • Elo Rating — A strength rating from final results only — it rises on wins, falls on losses, adjusted for opponent and margin. The gap maps to a win probability.
