Is that all there is to Bayesian rating?&nbsp; I guess we originally thought that there was a trick with an infinite loop as the equations end up referencing themselves.&nbsp; But I think we&#39;ve grown comfortable with the idea that things can be calculated based on their current state and not need to refer to themselves.<br>
<br>I&#39;ve attached an adaption of the Bayesian equations that should help us figure out our evaluation order.&nbsp; Please modify as needed.<br><br>-clay<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Apr 1, 2008 at 10:18 PM, Lucy Mendel &lt;<a href="mailto:lucy@thoughtandmemory.org">lucy@thoughtandmemory.org</a>&gt; wrote:<br>
