Wanted: Consulting Opportunity Implementing Sports Related Research Paper

Hi all!

I am implementing a rank ordered logit model using PyStan for a client. The model is described in this paper http://www.glicko.net/research/multicompetitor.pdf

I have made a lot of progress on this model but this is my first time using Stan and I have reached the limits of my knowledge. I am looking for an expert who can confirm my current implementation as well as help with the Stochastic process that happens between time periods.

I am happy to provide more details. Please reach out publicly here, or privately by email jdegrootlutzner [at] gmail.com

I think @bgoodri may have created an example for his course that uses a model similar to this for driver skill in race cars or something to that effect.

Hi, @jdegrootlutzner. Feel free to just post more specifically where you’re stuck here. If you have something working up to a point, that’s a huge help. If you don’t, I’d suggest simplifying the model until you do and then building up from there.

I have an implementation of Plackett-Luce in the following repo, which I used for estimating sushi preference given ranking (and rating) data:

It’s my StanCon submission for this Fall :-).

Is the stochastic process because the coefficients change over time?

Thank you @ssp3nc3r and @Bob_Carpenter for your replies!

Someone reached out by email and was able to help solve my issue.
