Just an initial note - the name is truly not meant to be offensive, more in the namesake of the old self-help style books to learn topics.
So I’m giving advanced warning that this may be a boring topic to some as it is a generally pretty dry topic. I don’t claim to be an expert in this area, and have no problem with (and even am asking for) people to comment to add what stats they utilize, and what the benefits of that stat is vs others. There are college courses that dig into the study and advancement of these predictive stats, which is another reason they are always advancing.
