The calculation of the y-value in this example is as follows: Step 1. Compute the Spread as: Spread=HomeTeamScore−AwayTeamScore Step 2. Compute the z-score of the Spread “z” as: z=Spread−avg(Spread)stdev(Spread) Notice that in this calculation we are computing a normalized sprea...
3.1.1. Model transformation In this subsection, the original model is reformulated into an equivalent nonlinear nonconvex program that can be linearized directly and efficiently with a linearization technique. Two nonlinear terms in the original model require linearization: the probability function on the...
