I have now covered all of the ground I wished to cover regarding the construction of rate stats for various frameworks for evaluating indivi...

Once PAR has been incorporated, it should be clear that a different approach will be needed as our run estimate already includes the batter’...

In calculating TT_BsR for a batter, we have taken into account both his primary and tertiary impact on the offense, but we have neglected to...

We now depart the orderly, neat world of linear weights for the frontiers of offensive evaluation/rate stat development. Allow me to posit t...

This installment will tie up a few miscellaneous loose threads pertaining to rate stats to be used within a linear weights framework. The fi...

In the last post, we ended with a dilemma: we have a metric (linear weights RAA/PA) that we believe is correct for a linear framework, but i...

Last time, I attempted to demonstrate that linear weights producing a result in terms of runs above average properly account for the value o...

Linear methods sidestep the issues that arise from applying dynamic run estimators to players by simply ignoring any non-linearity in the ru...
