Got a few categorical variables working for my random Forrest AFL model, namely venue and state. Interesting to note that by far the variable of most importance is my Elo team rating, which counts for upwards of 80% of variable importance (if I’m interpreting it correctly)

Ok initial Random Forrest is working, but not categorical features yet. predictions are a little wild right now, so going to stick to my Elo model until I'm happy. Keen to give this thing a run this season, but also thinking "if it ain't, broke don't fix it...."

What do you think the single most important predictor is for an #AFL match?
