Default Re: How To Test Baseball Game Prediction System?

You need to use some sort of loss function. For example, if you were to classify all games in which you predicted to win 50%-53% of the time, what was the actual frequency of wins for these games? The closer to your estimate the better, although you then need to check a binomial distribution to see how likely you were to see the results.
