I'm reworking a modeling program for MLB, and trying to upgrade to the use of sabermetrics as a tool. So far, things are working but I'd like some input about the use of DICE figures from those who may use them.
My question is this.
I'm using a fielding independent stat, DICE, for computation as a stat for Overall pitching, H/A pitching, and Last 3 gm pitching. These 3 stats are then averaged with a weighting method, that then gives me a DICE stat for that pitcher (Yes, I know I've omitted a Day/Night stat, but I'm fine with that.) Now, what weighting would work the most efficiently for the 3 stats I've got.
I'm currently using the following:
Season Overall: 3*
Home/Away 1.5*
Last 3 gms. 2.5*
...this divided by 7
I've never read anyones philosophy on weighting pitching stats, but I'm curious as to how others evaluate pitching when using different parameters.
