To refresh your memory, here’s a description of how my model works.

Predictions for this round are given in the table below. The priors for these distributions are based on the results from the previous rounds this season.

Home	Away	Chance of home team winning
Queensland Firebirds	NSW Swifts	56%
Adelaide Thunderbirds	West Coast Fever	42%
Sunshine Coast Lightning	GIANTS Netball	50%
Melbourne Vixens	Collingwood Magpies	56%

Score Differential Distributions

The distribution of the predicted score differentials is shown in the figures below. For each game, the chance of the home team winning is calculated and shown in the figure title. Each distribution is coloured by the team’s colours, and the more of a single team’s colour, the higher the chance that team has of winning. Overlaid on each figure are two vertical, dashed dark green lines; these show the score differential that has a 50% predicted chance of happening.

Comparison of Game Results Against Predictions

The following figure shows the results (score difference of the home team) from the previous round (blue vertical line) against the predictions from the model.

The mean average prediction error for the model over the rounds to date is 11.65. The results are shown below, with the MAPE for each game.

Home	Away	Chance of home team winning	Home Goals	Away Goals	MAPE
NSW Swifts	Sunshine Coast Lightning	49%	62	69	9.8
Melbourne Vixens	Adelaide Thunderbirds	53%	53	47	9.0
Queensland Firebirds	Collingwood Magpies	64%	59	67	13.0
GIANTS Netball	West Coast Fever	40%	74	73	8.7
