They need to release the formula. We know that xRAPM uses prior informed data. We know that RPM adds boxscore data. But they refuse to publish the formula.
It seems like they changed something this year and it is either the boxscore influence or something about the prior information.
In recent years bigman had a big advantage when it comes to DRPM. It seems like that is gone this year. I would love to hear an explanation for the change.
In the end RAPM is a more reliable number because we know how it is created. Regression of lineups and on/off that can happen with or without prior information.
