Five Years of Being A Full-Time Indie

Wow, it’s been a while. Figured passing another milestone is worth at least some sort of update. Looking back at my 1 year milestone has been amusing. My initial thought was that almost all the points brought up 4 years ago would no longer apply. A lot of the insights back then are strangely still quite applicable. So what’s happened in the 4 years since? On a more personal level, I’ve improved my eating and exercising habits to stay healthier.

Predicting outcomes for games of skill by redefining what it means to win

The Elo rating system is a highly successful ranking algorithm for games of skill where, by construction, one team wins and the other loses. A primary limitation of the original Elo algorithm is its inability to predict information beyond a match's win-loss probability. Specifically, the victor is awarded the same point bounty if he beats a team by 1 point or 10 points; only the rating difference between the team and its opponent affects the match bounty. In this work, we explain that Elo ratings and predictions can be naturally extended to include margin-of-victory information by simply redefining "what it means to win." We create ratings for each value of the margin-of-victory and use these ratings to predict the full distribution of point spread outcomes for matches which have not yet been played.
