A Review of Team GB's Performance in London 2012
100 days before the start of London 2012, Simon Shibli predicted Team GB to win 27 gold medals, based on a combination of simple linear regression and quantification of the host nation effect. This talk will demonstrate the forecasting model, review the results of his other London 2012 forecasts and the performance of Team GB, and will conclude with the prospects for the host nation Brazil in Rio 2016.
