  • Picking Winners Using Integer Programming
    Picking Winners Using Integer Programming David Scott Hunter Operations Research Center, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139, [email protected] Juan Pablo Vielma Department of Operations Research, Sloan School of Management, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139, [email protected] Tauhid Zaman Department of Operations Management, Sloan School of Management, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139, [email protected] We consider the problem of selecting a portfolio of entries of fixed cardinality for a winner take all contest such that the probability of at least one entry winning is maximized. This framework is very general and can be used to model a variety of problems, such as movie studios selecting movies to produce, drug companies choosing drugs to develop, or venture capital firms picking start-up companies in which to invest. We model this as a combinatorial optimization problem with a submodular objective function, which is the probability of winning. We then show that the objective function can be approximated using only pairwise marginal probabilities of the entries winning when there is a certain structure on their joint distribution. We consider a model where the entries are jointly Gaussian random variables and present a closed form approximation to the objective function. We then consider a model where the entries are given by sums of constrained resources and present a greedy integer programming formulation to construct the entries. Our formulation uses three principles to construct entries: maximize the expected score of an entry, lower bound its variance, and upper bound its correlation with previously constructed entries. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our greedy integer programming formulation, we apply it to daily fantasy sports contests that have top heavy payoff structures (i.e.

  • Cincinnati Reds'
    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings September 29, 2015 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1990 – The Reds clinch the Western Division when the second-place Dodgers lose to the Giants, 4-3. The Dodgers score is announced at Riverfront Stadium during a rain delay in the Reds-Padres game. The Reds emerge from the clubhouse to celebrate becoming the first National League team to lead for an entire 162-game schedule, with the rain soaked crowd. MLB.COM Reds struggle to back Finnegan in makeup game By Bill Ladson and Jacob Emert / MLB.com WASHINGTON -- Nationals right-hander Max Scherzer almost put himself in the record books Monday afternoon, coming within five outs of his second no-hitter of the season in a 5-1 victory over the Reds at Nationals Park. Scherzer allowed one run on two hits with 10 strikeouts and three walks over eight innings in a makeup of a game that was to be be played on July 8. Had Scherzer completed the no-hitter, he would have become the sixth pitcher to accomplish the feat twice in a season (including the postseason). The last to do it was Roy Halladay in 2010. Scherzer pitched his first no-hitter on June 20 in a 6-0 victory over the Pirates. "Scherzer had some great plays early," Nationals manager Matt Williams said. "The pitch count was in order. He was pushing it. I thought he was going to do it again. He pitched really well." Scherzer received plenty of help on defense. Tyler Moore, a first baseman by trade, made a great diving grab off the bat of Skip Schumaker in the third inning.
