Hello, I'm an (wannabe) applied mathematician who has played games too much, and wonder whether the same technique could be used to give chess ratings or scrabble ratings or football ratings or whatever! Though this is not what it's designed for, at least it uses some of the same mathematical basis, I believe. Can it estimate P(A > B) for two of the candidates A, B? The problem is, we have a lot of different A and B, and sometimes not very many comparisons between them. If so, then it is closer to being the same. It would be interesting to try it. Just a thought - programming details get to be a little too much …
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
You can use PriEsT to estimate rankings of players where tournaments involve head-to-head matches. However, estimating P(A>B) appears to me as a pre-processing step for ranking players. Probability of A winning B would be calculated from historical (statistical) evidence, and then will be used to construct pairwise comparison matrix.
Kindly let me know if I have mis-understood your question.
Cheers,
Sajid

First of all, congrats for the great job on this tool. I'm on a master degree course on Operations Research and actually I'm interested in present your tool as a reference for one of the disciplines on this course, since it is much much better than the one used at the course, that was developed by a professor, but it has a lot of bugs.
The point is, can I join in the development to create a version in Brazilian portuguese of this tool? If its possible, how can I contribute on that?

Great work. Would it be possible to be provided with a tutorial on how to get started with your application? Thanks
Hi,
Thanks for your comment. I am writing a quick start guide and will soon let you know.
Cheers.
Please download a quick start guide from the files section. Thank you for checking this out.
