"We picked this model for skill, which is used because it has some nice properties where you can treat a group of opponents as many games against a single opponent with their average rating, and then... [complicated simulation...]amazingly... it turns out the order you face the opponents in doesn't matter!"
I think the missing piece from the analysis is whether this model is actually a good fit for SSB matchups.
- alexmolas 3y agomaybe it's better to use a standard Elo system?
- blueblimp 3y agoThe Bradley-Terry model is essentially the same thing as Elo. https://lmsys.org/blog/2023-12-07-leaderboard/ https://lmsys.org/blog/2023-12-07-leaderboard/ > This model actually is the maximum likelihood (MLE) estimate of the underlying Elo model assuming a fixed but unknown pairwise win-rate.
