Inspired by PhD thesis written by Joshua Weissbock where he developed a model for prediction NHL hockey game results, we decided to create and apply similar model for KHL hockey league.
Even though our model outperforms Joshua's in terms of accuracy (64.8% vs 59.8%), we don't consider this result as fair. We suggest that the reason of this phenomena is the fact that our leaugue is just unbalanced and, as a result, more predictbale (especially in 2015-2016 season when the most part of the dataset was collected).
The project was done as a student practical project in Computer Science Center.
