Participants : Gilles Celeux, Jean-Louis Foulley.

In collaboration with Jean-Louis Foulley (Montpellier University), Gilles Celeux has proposed a penalty criterion for assessing correct score forecasting in soccer matches. They have defined the subject of a Masters internship for next year to predict scores of soccer matches via Poisson models using maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference.
