elo PackageThe elo package includes functions to address all kinds of Elo calculations.
Most functions begin with the prefix “elo.”, for easy autocompletion.
Vectors or scalars of Elo scores are denoted elo.A or elo.B.
Vectors or scalars of wins by team A are denoted by wins.A.
Vectors or scalars of win probabilities are denoted by p.A.
Vectors of team names are denoted team.A or team.B.
To calculate the probability team.A beats team.B, use elo.prob():
## [1] 0.500000 0.359935To calculate the score update after the two teams play, use elo.update():
## [1] 10.0000 -7.1987To calculate the new Elo scores after the update, use elo.calc():
## elo.A elo.B
## 1 1510.000 1490.000
## 2 1492.801 1607.199elo.run() functionTo calculate a series of Elo updates, use elo.run(). This function has a formula = and data = interface. We first load the dataset tournament.
## 'data.frame': 56 obs. of 6 variables:
## $ team.Home : chr "Blundering Baboons" "Defense-less Dogs" "Fabulous Frogs" "Helpless Hyenas" ...
## $ team.Visitor : chr "Athletic Armadillos" "Cunning Cats" "Elegant Emus" "Gallivanting Gorillas" ...
## $ points.Home : num 14 21 15 13 22 18 20 23 25 23 ...
## $ points.Visitor: num 22 18 11 15 13 20 22 10 16 18 ...
## $ week : num 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 ...
## $ half : chr "First Half of Season" "First Half of Season" "First Half of Season" "First Half of Season" ...formula = should be in the format of wins.A ~ team.A + team.B. The score() function will help to calculate winners on the fly (1 = win, 0.5 = tie, 0 = loss).
tournament$wins.A <- tournament$points.Home > tournament$points.Visitor
elo.run(wins.A ~ team.Home + team.Visitor, data = tournament, k = 20)##
## An object of class 'elo.run', containing information on 8 teams and 56 matches.##
## An object of class 'elo.run', containing information on 8 teams and 56 matches.For more complicated Elo updates, you can include the special function k() in the formula = argument. Here we’re taking the log of the win margin as part of our update.
elo.run(score(points.Home, points.Visitor) ~ team.Home + team.Visitor +
k(20*log(abs(points.Home - points.Visitor) + 1)), data = tournament)##
## An object of class 'elo.run', containing information on 8 teams and 56 matches.You can also adjust the home and visitor teams with different k’s:
k1 <- 20*log(abs(tournament$points.Home - tournament$points.Visitor) + 1)
elo.run(score(points.Home, points.Visitor) ~ team.Home + team.Visitor + k(k1, k1/2), data = tournament)##
## An object of class 'elo.run', containing information on 8 teams and 56 matches.It’s also possible to adjust one team’s Elo for a variety of factors (e.g., home-field advantage). The adjust() special function will take as its second argument a vector or a constant.
elo.run(score(points.Home, points.Visitor) ~ adjust(team.Home, 10) + team.Visitor,
data = tournament, k = 20)##
## An object of class 'elo.run', containing information on 8 teams and 56 matches.elo.run() also recognizes if the second column is numeric, and interprets that as a fixed-Elo opponent.
tournament$elo.Visitor <- 1500
elo.run(score(points.Home, points.Visitor) ~ team.Home + elo.Visitor,
data = tournament, k = 20)##
## An object of class 'elo.run', containing information on 8 teams and 56 matches.The special function regress() can be used to regress Elos back to a fixed value after certain matches. Giving a logical vector identifies these matches after which to regress back to the mean. Giving any other kind of vector regresses after the appropriate groupings (see, e.g., duplicated(..., fromLast = TRUE)). The other three arguments determine what Elo to regress to (to =, which could be a different value for different teams), by how much to regress toward that value (by =), and whether to regress teams which aren’t actively playing (regress.unused =).
tournament$elo.Visitor <- 1500
elo.run(score(points.Home, points.Visitor) ~ team.Home + elo.Visitor +
regress(half, 1500, 0.2),
data = tournament, k = 20)##
## An object of class 'elo.run.regressed', containing information on 8 teams and 56 matches, with 2 regressions.The special function group() doesn’t affect elo.run(), but determines matches to group together in as.matrix() (below).
There are several helper functions that are useful to use when interacting with objects of class "elo.run".
summary.elo.run() reports some summary statistics.
e <- elo.run(score(points.Home, points.Visitor) ~ team.Home + team.Visitor,

results <- elo.run(score(points.Home, points.Visitor) ~ adjust(team.Home, 10) + team.Visitor,
data = tournament, k = 20)
newdat <- data.frame(

predict(results, newdata = newdat)## [1] 0.6676045We now get to elo.run2(), a copy of elo.run() (but implemented in R) that allows for custom probability calculations and Elo updates.
For instance, suppose you want to change the adjustment based on team A’s current Elo:
custom_update <- function(wins.A, elo.A, elo.B, k, adjust.A, adjust.B, ...)
{
k*(wins.A - elo.prob(elo.A, elo.B, adjust.B = adjust.B,
adjust.A = ifelse(elo.A > 1500, adjust.A / 2, adjust.A)))
}
custom_prob <- function(elo.A, elo.B, adjust.A, adjust.B)
{
1/(1 + 10^(((elo.B + adjust.B) - (elo.A + ifelse(elo.A > 1500, adjust.A / 2, adjust.A)))/400.0))
}
er2 <- elo.run2(score(points.Home, points.Visitor) ~ adjust(team.Home, 10) + team.Visitor,

## 1514.205 1486.768This example is a bit contrived, as it’d be easier just to use adjust() (actually, this is tested for in the tests), but the point remains.
All three of the “basic” functions accept formulas as input, just like elo.run().
dat <- data.frame(elo.A = c(1500, 1500), elo.B = c(1500, 1600),
wins.A = c(1, 0), k = 20)
form <- wins.A ~ elo.A + elo.B + k(k)

## 2 1492.801 1607.199Note that for elo.prob(), formula = can be more succinct:
## [1] 0.500000 0.359935We can even adjust the Elos:
## elo.A elo.B
## 1 1509.712 1490.288
## 2 1492.534 1607.466The first model computes teams’ win percentages, and feeds the differences of percentages into a regression. Including an adjustment using adjust() in the formula also includes that in the model. You could also adjust the intercept for games played on neutral fields by using the neutral() function.

## 0.9690678It’s also possible to compare teams’ skills using logistic regression. A matrix of dummy variables is constructed, one for each team, where a value of 1 indicates a home team and -1 indicates a visiting team. The intercept then indicates a home-field advantage. To denote games played in a neutral setting (that is, without home-field advantage), use the neutral() function. In short, the intercept will then be set to 1 - neutral(). Including an adjustment using adjust() in the formula also includes that in the model.

## 0.9684256It’s also possible to compare teams’ skills using a Markov-chain-based model, as outlined in Kvam and Sokol (2006). In short, imagine a judge who randomly picks one of two teams in a matchup, where the winner gets chosen with probability p (here, for convenience, ‘k’) and the loser with probability 1-p (1-k). In other words, we assume that the probability that the winning team is better than the losing team given that it won is k, and the probability that the losing team is better than the winning team given that it lost is (1-k). This forms a transition matrix, whose stationary distribution gives a ranking of teams. The differences in ranking are then fed into a logistic regession model to predict win status. Any adjustments made using adjust() are also included in this logistic regression. You could also adjust the intercept for games played on neutral fields by using the neutral() function.

## 0.9594476Note that by assigning probabilities in the right way, this function emits the Logistic Regression Markov Chain model (LRMC). Use the in-formula function k() for this. IMPORTANT: note that k() denotes the probability assigned to the winning team, not the home team (for instance). If rH(x) denotes the probability that the home team is better given that they scored x points more than the visiting team (allowing for x to be negative), then an LRMC model might look something like this:
Why do we use floor() here? This takes care of the odd case where teams tie. In this case, rH(x) < 0.5 because we expected the home team to win by virtue of being home. By default, elo.markovchain() will split any ties down the middle (i.e., 0.5 and 0.5 instead of p and 1-p), which isn’t what we want; we want the visiting team to get a larger share than the home team. Telling elo.markovchain() that the visiting team “won” gives the visiting team its whole share of p.
Alternatively, if h denotes a home-field advantage (in terms of score), the model becomes:
In this case, the home team “won” if it scored more than h points more than the visiting team. Since rH(x) > 0.5 if x > h, then pmax() will assign the proper probability to the pseudo-winning team.
Finally, do note that using neutral() isn’t sufficient for adjusting for games played on neutral ground, because the adjustment is only taken into account in the logistic regression to produce probabilities, not the building of the transition matrix. Therefore, you’ll want to also account for neutral wins/losses in k() as well.
It’s also possible to compare teams’ skills using the Colley Matrix method, as outlined in Colley (2002). The coefficients to the Colley matrix formulation gives a ranking of teams. The differences in ranking are then fed into a logistic regession model to predict win status. Here ‘k’ denotes how convincing a win is; it represents the fraction of the win assigned to the winning team and the fraction of the loss assigned to the losing team. Setting ‘k’ = 1 emits the bias-free method presented by Colley. Any adjustments made using adjust() are also included in this logistic regression. You could also adjust the intercept for games played on neutral fields by using the neutral() function.
