I was conjecturing that the distribution would be closer to Pareto for everyone (including people who've never learned how to play chess), hence why I said that "active players" is a big caveat. > increasing populations ma

A long right tail Gaussian fits the Elo ratings of active chess players very well, as I discussed in adjacent comments here.

by KK7NIL 2y ago
Look at my reply to bhouston. Elo ratings for active players are close to Gaussian, but not quite, they show a very clear asymmetry, especially for OTB old school Elo (compared to online Glicko-2). The active players restriction is a big

Very interested point, this is a close corollary to the central limit theorem, no? Doesn't this assume a linear relationship between relevant alleles and the given trait though?

Lichess has public population data (they use a modified version of Glicko-2 which is basically an updated version of Elo's system): https://lichess.org/stat/rating/distribution/blitz It's basically

So when someone says "trust the science!" they mean "define your null hypothesis, design an experiment to test it, run said experiment, analyze the data for statistical significance and submit for peer review"? Or do the

Extremely expensive long distance fees seem much more likely and also explains why it didn't catch on with other groups.

This is for Q3 of this year, for which the government is saying we're not in a recession. The problem with Keynesian economics is that no one wants to turn off the money printer when the times are good.

I haven't heard of this in any major PC title, but still, it fits the general idea that Elo-like systems are there to measure relative chances of winning, not skill.
