Okay, so, I decided to mess around with this “Shelton prediction” thing today. I’ve heard some buzz about it and figured, why not give it a shot? I started by gathering some data. I mean, you can’t really predict anything without some info, right?
I grabbed a bunch of stuff about this Shelton guy – matches, stats, you name it. I found some websites that had all this data, and I just started copying and pasting like crazy. Once I had a decent amount of this stuff, I started looking into how to actually make predictions.
I read up on some methods. There’s something called “trend extrapolation,” which is basically looking at past stuff and guessing what’ll happen next. Then there’s the “Delphi method,” which is all about getting experts to weigh in. I even stumbled upon “mathematical modeling” and “scenario analysis” which sounded way too complicated, but hey, I was curious.
Here’s a little breakdown of what I did:
- Gathered data: Dug up all the stats and info I could find on Shelton’s matches.
- Explored methods: Checked out different ways people make predictions, like trend extrapolation and the Delphi method.
- Tried some stuff out: I messed around with some basic trend extrapolation, just looking at his recent wins and losses.
I also looked into machine learning for prediction which was really new to me. I used some function called “PREDICT” to get results of all images in the object table. It was pretty cool to see how that worked.
Honestly, I didn’t get very far with the complicated stuff. It’s a lot to take in! But I did manage to make some simple predictions based on Shelton’s recent performance. I even tried using an algorithm from a site called BetClan, just to see what it would spit out. They predicted Shelton would win in straight sets in some match. We’ll see if they’re right!
Then, in the middle of my research, I found something about a match between “Rublev vs Shelton” and their head to head stats. Apparently, Andrey Rublev was going to face Ben Shelton in some quarter-finals match. It was all pretty interesting. There was also mention of a Roberto Carballes Baena vs Ben Shelton match, and the prediction for that was also Ben Shelton to win in straight sets.
My Takeaway
At the end of the day, this whole prediction thing is way more involved than I thought. It’s not just about looking at numbers; there’s a whole science to it. I barely scratched the surface, but it was a fun little experiment. Maybe I’ll try this again sometime and see if I can get better at it. Who knows, maybe I’ll even become a prediction guru someday! (Probably not, but it’s fun to think about.)
