After some deliberation I decided to name the “machine” that is predicting things for us here. His name is Steve Machine and he is a friendly guy. Sometimes he is hosted elsewhere, depending on what he is working on, but for now he is on my local Macbook.
If you remember, last week we used a linear regression to predict the final score of the FC Dallas - New England Revolution game. That prediction gave us the estimated scoreline of C Dallas - 1.789 goals to New England - 1.
