Testing run estimators

By Tangotiger

Colin gives it a go (part 1).

Surprise! BaseRuns demolishes the field.

All the other linear estimators are all pretty similar. Not sure how he tuned each equation on an annual basis (team, game, or inning basis?). wOBA, reg, and House should all come out pretty much the same. It also depends on how he handled IBB, since wOBA explicitly ignores it as an event.
