Surviving a National Football League Survivor Pool
研究了NFL幸存者池的优化策略,发现仅规划赛季部分赛程的策略生存概率最高,优于数百万随机策略。
In this paper, an analytical approach to National Football League (NFL) survival pools is investigated. This paper introduces into the literature NFL survival pools and presents optimization models for determining strategies. Computational results indicate that planning only partway through the season yields the highest survival probabilities, which dominate millions of randomly generated strategies.
