英格蘭隊
英格蘭隊的出線率為63%,進入半決賽的幾率為21%。The UBS model was applauded in 2006 when it selected the winner, Italy. The bankers also correctly predicted 13 of the final 16, six of the final eight, and two of the semi-finalists。
在2006年世界杯的角逐中,瑞銀利用預測模型預測意大利隊最有可能奪冠,并最終言中,該預測模型也因此受到了人們的好評。此外,瑞銀還曾成功預測了16強中的13支球隊以及八強中的6支球隊。
However, when using the model for the 2008 European Championship, the forecast winner did not make it to the second round. "The moral of the story is that one needs to be humble about the predictive power of one’s model," the Wealth Management team said。
不過,該模型在2008年歐錦賽中預測的奪冠熱門球隊卻未能進入第二輪。瑞銀財富管理團隊對此表示,“對該模型的預測能力我們還是保守一點為妙。”UBS's predicted quarter-finalists
