The aim was to see how the expert constructed BN compares
in terms of both predictive accuracy and explanatory
clarity for the factors eVecting the result of the matches
under investigation.
Section 2 discusses the issues of model setup and how we
selected the football match data to learn from. Section 3 is a
brief explanation of the learning techniques used and our
approach to the analysis. Section 4 provides the results of
the learners for each of the data sets used, while Section 5
provides a summary of the predictive accuracy. Section 6
summarises our conclusions and looks at some possible
directions of future work.
