Academic year 2024-2025
ELIGIBILITY: This project is for a student taking the MSc in Statistics and Sustainability.
TrueSkill, a model developed by Microsoft, is designed to assess the “ability score” of video game players. This score is then used to create a leaderboard, which helps match players in online games. The model also supports team-based games. The goal of this project is to extend TrueSkill to account for additional factors, such as game type and other covariates. These extended models will be evaluated using sport-data, from both individual sports (e.g., tennis) and team sports (e.g., cycling).
