Abstract
Abstract We study the stability of a time-aware version of the popular Massey method, previously introduced by Franceschet, M., E. Bozzo, and P. Vidoni. 2017. “The Temporalized Massey’s Method.” Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports 13: 37–48, for rating teams in sport competitions. To this end, we embed the temporal Massey method in the theory of time-varying averaging algorithms, which are dynamic systems mainly used in control theory for multi-agent coordination. We also introduce a parametric family of Massey-type methods and show that the original and time-aware Massey versions are, in some sense, particular instances of it. Finally, we discuss the key features of this general family of rating procedures, focusing on inferential and predictive issues and on sensitivity to upsets and modifications of the schedule.
我们研究了流行的Massey方法的时间感知版本的稳定性,该方法之前由Franceschet, M., E. Bozzo和P. Vidoni于2017年引入。"时间化的梅西方法"《体育定量分析杂志》13:37-48,用于对体育比赛中的球队进行评级。为此,我们将时间Massey方法嵌入到时变平均算法理论中,时变平均算法是多智能体协调控制理论中主要使用的动态系统。我们还介绍了Massey型方法的参数族,并表明原始的和有时间意识的Massey版本在某种意义上是它的特殊实例。最后,我们讨论了这类评定程序的主要特征,重点讨论了推理和预测问题,以及对进度中断和修改的敏感性。
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
