      GoBlue,

      I have another question about this KRACH with ties and home/away. The mathematical formulation uses exp(k1+h) for example. I assume that is because it makes the math come out - because you can take the logs and then it's addition rather than multiplication. However, it seems to me that the k(i) that comes out of that calculation is not the k(i) that comes out of Whelan's example of how to calculate KRACH here and on CHN.
      It seems to me that the Ki all need to re-exponentiated to get the numbers that are equivalent to the KRACH ratings in Whelan's formulation.

      Is that correct?

      Thanks again.

          Wisconsin rule. That's the one prohibiting teams with less that .500 records from an at-large place in the tournament.

            Does autobids have any impact on that? Alabama Huntsville made the tournament a few years ago with a sub-500 record, but they had the CHA autobid. Also, I seem to remember about 6 or 7 years ago UVM had a team that almost didn't make the Hockey East playoffs but ended making some noise in the national tournament.

              No, it doesn't affect autobids, just at-large bids. Wisconsin earned an at-large bid in 07-08 with a record of 15-16-7. They did end up beating Denver 6-2 in their first NCAA tournament game, but lost to North Dakota in overtime the next game. The "Wisconsin rule" was implemented the year after.

                If that's still the case, New Hampshire would be the replacement. It does show that it's very early in the season, though.

                  exp(ki) is the KRACH rating, ie, ki for team i is a number which needs to exponentiated to be in Whelan's form. You don't need to exponentiate again. h, the home ice advantage, also needs to be exponentiated to make patman's formula pr(home win) = ca/(ca+b) correct. It's generally easier to estimate ki instead of Ki=exp(ki) because the constraint that Ki>0 is a pain. when working with ki, ie ln(Ki) the coefficient is unconstrained.

                  Note all of the Ks are still only determined up to a multiplicative constant, so you can define the absolute value of the KRACH ratings any way you want. Some common methods are to make the best team 100, to make the sum 1, or, in an understandable if somewhat idiosyncratic view at siouxsports.com, to make North Dakota = 100.

                  (Neither h nor theta can be scaled. They have to be takes as is.)

                    Thanks Go,

                    That's what I meant. I appreciate all the explaining.

                                That's just Quality Wins Bonus, not your RatingsPI. Your RatingsPI is currently at 59.60 with removals of Bentley, both Holy Cross games, Dartmouth, and the Princeton game from Friday. Beating Providence alone would take you to 60.58, but that may change based upon other happenings today and Tuesday.
