Key Insights from Feature Importance
+
    +
  • Empty Net is dominant: ~67x multiplier on goal probability
    • +
  • Distance matters most for spatial features (-0.032 per foot)
    • +
  • Rebounds are dangerous: 52% higher conversion rate
    • +
  • Rush shots are NOT more efficient: Slightly negative coefficient suggests controlling for location, rush shots convert at similar or slightly lower rates

Calibration Analysis
+
    +
  • Models are well-calibrated: Total xG within 0.03% of actual goals
    • +
  • v3 is most accurate: Each version improves calibration slightly
    • +
  • Low-xG shots: Slight overestimation in 0-10% range (most shots)
    • +
  • High-xG shots: Very accurate (empty net situations)

OptionDescriptionDifficulty
1. Simple RescalingMultiply all xG by 0.84 (47121/56027) to match actual goalsEasy
2. Retrain InterceptKeep feature weights, adjust intercept from -1.99 to ~-2.20Easy
3. Retrain Full ModelUse shots_for_modeling.csv to train new logistic regressionMedium
4. Add Shot TypeInclude shotType feature (wrist, slap, tip-in, etc.)Medium

⚠️ MAJOR CALIBRATION ISSUES DETECTED
- The current xG model overestimates goals by ~19%. - This means the model predicts more goals than actually occur. - See analysis below for breakdown by feature. + The xG model overestimates goals by 22.5%. + Primary issues: Empty Net (predicts 82%, actual 14%) and + Penalty Kill (predicts 21%, actual 8%).

Key Findings

+
+
🚨 Empty Net Detection
+
+ Model predicts 82.2% conversion
+ Actual: 13.6%
+ Error: -68.7% +
+
+
+
🚨 Penalty Kill
+
+ Model predicts 20.6% conversion
+ Actual: 8.4%
+ Error: -12.2% +
+
+
+
✓ Even Strength
+
+ Model predicts 4.5% conversion
+ Actual: 4.4%
+ Error: -0.1% (Good!) +
+
+
+ + +

Shot Type Analysis (NOT in current model)

+
+ Shot type is a significant predictor not included in the model. + Snap shots convert at 8.8% but model predicts 5.4% — a 3.5% underestimate.

Calibration by xG Probability Bucket

+
+
Where the Model Fails
+
+ +
+
+
+ High xG buckets (35-50%) are massively wrong because they contain empty net shots. + The model assigns ~80% xG to empty nets but actual conversion is only ~14%. +

1. Simple RescalingMultiply all xG by 0.84 (47121/56027) to match actual goalsEasy1. CriticalEmpty net detection is brokenCheck situationCode parsing - likely detecting too many empty nets
2. Retrain InterceptKeep feature weights, adjust intercept from -1.99 to ~-2.20Easy2. CriticalPenalty kill massively overestimatesVerify strength state logic - may be mislabeling situations
3. Retrain Full ModelUse shots_for_modeling.csv to train new logistic regressionMedium3. HighShot type not in modelAdd shotType feature - snap shots are 3.5% more dangerous than predicted
4. Add Shot TypeInclude shotType feature (wrist, slap, tip-in, etc.)Medium4. MediumDistance overestimates beyond 10ftRetrain distance coefficient or add non-linear term
