Im running it at least a year and see how it peforms. Im running 2 models this playoffs: this exact one and other one with some tweaks and see how it goes. But yeah, at least start using it for real (if it works) on march/april next year.
Im also working on a MLB model that last year gave pretty good results. I just need a around 2 months of the new season to collect data and start posting picks.
Maybe 15-20 years ago using previews season
And yes, the model uses information from 1-3-10-20 days prior (each with its respective weight), as well as overall power rankings, both defensively and offensively, along with many other data points.
Perhaps 15-20 years ago, you could use information from previous seasons, but in my view, the game has changed a lot. Everything is computerized, everything is meticulously researched as teams change day by day. Moreover, player movement between teams has increased significantly in recent years; nobody is loyal to their team anymore, they are loyal to their bank account. So, I believe that's why using data from previous seasons isn't very useful.
