Incorporating Opposing Alliance Information in CCWM Calculations

[saikiranra]

Attached is the GPR calculated for all 8 championship divisions this year, with OPR, CCWM, and DPR also given as reference (I did not take in account surrogate matches and such). I can generate a new one of these for any event that has data on TBA.

I believe you can use the SVD to find the psuedo inverse matrix using the Moore-Penrose method. I used a Moore-Penrose psuedo matrix method in the Python Numpy library, although I believe that the general solve method in Numpy does something similar. I'm also new at this entire statistics world, so I'm sure one of the guru's here can fill us in.
