| Abstract: | An empirical investigation of persistence in sequences match results in football id presented. A Monte Carlo analysis is used to generate sequences of simulated match results for heterogeneous teams under assumption of zero persistence. A comparison between the simulated results and 30 years of observed match results data for the English Premier League and Footvall League provides evidence of a negative persistence effect. |
