The improvements of rating deviation in Glicko-2 system
* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
This article mainly talks about the differences in the calculation method of rating deviation (RD) between the Glicko and Glicko-2 systems and how they affect the player’s rating differently. In addition, it also includes the logician of the Glicko-2 and how it operates in real situation. In Glicko-2, the change of RD is based on more information contained in one match unlike Glicko which is just based on the play counts. In addition, the Glicko-2 solves some problems presented in the Glicko and gives players better game experience, and rationalizes the player’s data, makes an improvement of Glicko. This article includes detailed explanations, by using some examples and figures of functions, illustrate the relationship between RD and the difference of rating, opponent’s RD, and the player’s RD itself, also give some examples of how the mechanism of calculating RD is used in other cases, like the game Tetr.io. Thus, this paper underscores the importance of new ideas in the Glicko-2 system.
