Statistician's Digest: Linear Weights - Estimated Pts Produced

"... Please, give me an example of linear weights formula... "

Basically linear weights claims to obtain points or something like points as a mark from a formula that looks like this:

Points Created= a*PTS + b-*AST + c*OR + d*DR + e*STL + f*BLK - g*TO - h*(FGA-FGM) - i*(FTA-FTM) - j*PF - k*FF - l*DQ

In some versions of this formula, the result is scaled by a factor that accounts for whether the team (or player's team, if it's applied to a player) played at a faster or slower pace than normal. Generally is assigned the value of 1 to each of the weights, a' through i', and 0 to the others. Read the Discussions in the eBA Basketball Statistics Forums
