Rating()

Method Summary

static float	computeAdjustment(float W, int opprat, Rating rating) Computes a ratings adjustment for the given player, using a modified version of the FIDE Chess rating system as: adjustment = K(W - We) where: K = if (experience < 20) then 64 else if (rating < 2100 and experience >= 20) then 32 else if (rating >= 2100 and rating < 2400 and experience >= 20) then 24 else 16 W = score for the game just completed, as 1.0, 0.5, and 0.0 for a win, draw, or loss, respectively.
static int	computeRating(Rating[] ratings, int pidx, float W) Computes a player's updated rating using a modified version of the FIDE/ELO system.
boolean	isProvisional() Returns true if this rating is provisional (experience < 20).

Method Detail

computeRating

public static int computeRating(Rating[] ratings,
                                int pidx,
                                float W)

Computes a player's updated rating using a modified version of the FIDE/ELO system. The rating adjustment is computed for the player versus each opponent individually and these adjustments are summed and scaled by one over the number of opponents to create the final rating adjustment, which is then added to the player's previous rating and bounded to the rating range. Note: provisional players (those with experience of less than 20) will be treated as having, at most, the default rating when used as an opponent in calculatons for a non-provisional player.

Parameters:

ratings - the pre-match ratings of each of the opponents.

pidx - the index of the player whose rating is to be calculated.

W - the win value for the player whose rating is to be calculated, (1.0 means the player won, 0.5 means they drew, 0 means they lost).

Returns:

the player's updated rating or -1 if none of the opponents could be applicably rated against this player due to provisional/ non-provisional mismatch or lack of participation.

computeAdjustment

public static float computeAdjustment(float W,
                                      int opprat,
                                      Rating rating)

Computes a ratings adjustment for the given player, using a modified version of the FIDE Chess rating system as:

 adjustment = K(W - We)

 where:

 K = if (experience < 20) then 64
     else if (rating < 2100 and experience >= 20) then 32
     else if (rating >= 2100 and rating < 2400 and experience >= 20)
          then 24
     else 16
 W = score for the game just completed, as 1.0, 0.5, and 0.0 for a
 win, draw, or loss, respectively.
 dR = opponent's rating minus player's rating.
 We = expected score (win expectancy) as determined by:

     We = 1 / (10^(dR/400) + 1)
 

Parameters:

W - the win value the game in question (1.0 means the player won, 0.5 means they drew, 0 means they lost).

opprat - the opponent's current rating.

rating - the player's current rating.

Returns:

the adjustment to the player's rating.

isProvisional

public boolean isProvisional()

Returns true if this rating is provisional (experience < 20).

toString

public String toString()
