NCAA Bracket Help is Here (2019)

Last call for brackets! It's the last few hours and I am here to help. Even if the deadline passes use this to try and find any potential upsets. I used three classification models to predict each the winner of any match-up for the 2019 Men's basketball tournament. You can pick whichever model seems the best to you, or use the three in a voting scheme where majority picks the winner! To learn more about the model types (if you're interested) I used:  logistic regression  -  neural network  -  random forest Use the search bar to and type in both school names you are looking for, and the probabilities next to each model are the likelihood that predictor gives to School X winning the match-up.
