Is that all there is to Bayesian rating? I guess we originally thought that there was a trick with an infinite loop as the equations end up referencing themselves. But I think we'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've attached an adaption of the Bayesian equations that should help us figure out our evaluation order. Please modify as needed.<br><br>-clay<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Apr 1, 2008 at 10:18 PM, Lucy Mendel <<a href="mailto:lucy@thoughtandmemory.org">lucy@thoughtandmemory.org</a>> wrote:<br>
