Modelling Outcomes in Canadian Professional Football via Generalized Bradley-Terry Models
… (CFL) games are identified and discussed. The Bradley-Terry Model and various generalizations are presented as potentially useful for making such predictions, alongside derivations of well-known minorization-maximization (MM) algorithms and descriptions Artificial Neural Net- work (ANN) …

A sakk matematikája - Élő-pontszámok
… A rendszer mögött levő statisztikai modellt, a Bradley-Terry modellt mutatjuk be, valamint az erre épülő Élő-pontrendszert. Foglalkoztunk a győzelem valószínűségévél olyan játékoknál, amelyeknél két kimenetel lehetséges. A pontrendszer egyes változatait röviden ismertetjük. A dolgozat végén …

Noise reduction schemes for digital hearing aids and their use for the hearing impaired
… of paired comparisons in combination with the Bradley-Terry scaling model is suggested and applied. The predictive power of several 'objective' speech quality measures is investigated. Particularly the PMF and LAR objective quality measures reflect different subjective results.

Regression Models for Paired Comparisons
… such experiments, for instance the Thurstone and Bradley-Terry-Luce models. This dissertation proposes an integrative framework in which the vast majority of extant scaling procedures for paired comparisons can be cast. The framework is based on the Generalized Linear Mixed Model (GLMM) and it …

Learning network structure from node behavior
… from each user are generated according to the Bradley-Terry model with his/her score vector. We propose a two-step algorithm for estimating the score vectors: first cluster the users using projected comparison vectors and then estimate a score vector separately for each cluster by the maximum …

Cumulative Distribution Networks: Inference, Estimation and Applications of Graphical Models for Cumulative Distribution Functions
… probability models for rank data, such as the Bradley-Terry and Plackett-Luce models, can be viewed as particular types of CDN. Applications of CDNs will be described for the problems of ranking players in multiplayer team-based games, document retrieval and discovering regulatory sequences in …

Portfolio Optimization Using Financial Chaos Index and Time-Homogeneous Top-K Ranking
… and an innovative continuous extension of the Bradley-Terry-Luce (BTL) model. The proposed continuous BTL model extends the win/loss nature of the logistic model to a continuous setting, further reflecting preference degrees that may exist among the compared items. Our computations, which …

Improving Machine Learning Through Oracle Learning
The following dissertation presents a new paradigm for improving the training of machine learning algorithms, oracle learning. The main idea in oracle learning is that instead of training directly on a set of data, a learning model is trained to approximate a given oracle's behavior on a set of …
