Co opowiadają drzewa o tenisie? Predykcja wyników spotkań w tenisie ziemnym z wykorzystaniem drzew klasyfikacyjnych
What do trees have got to say about tennis? Prediction of professional tennis matches outcomes using classification trees

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the classifications of matches outcomes in professional tennis, using Random Forests. The main goal is to build the model with higher prediction accuracy than bookmakers’ model. The original real world data sets are analyzed. The objects in these data sets are the matches, played in 2015 by the players listed in the official ATP and WTA rankings. There are some special variables created based on a metric variable which is a quantitative representation of the match result. The paper presents a novelty use of classification trees in predicting tennis matches outcomes.
