It extends simpler rating systems by incorporating rating deviation (uncertainty) and rating volatility, allowing more nuanced ranking updates that account for confidence in each player's true skill level.\n\nThe package is a pure-Python library with no runtime dependencies, making it lightweight and easy to integrate into game servers, tournament platforms, or any system that needs to track and update player ratings. It's typically used to compute new ratings after matches or competitions, given prior ratings, rating deviations, and match outcomes.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need a Glicko-2 implementation. The package is stable, dependency-free, and carries no security vulnerabilities. The aging maintenance status is not a blocker for a mature algorithm\u2014Glicko-2 itself is a well-established mathematical standard\u2014but verify the API meets your needs before production use."},"id":"glicko2","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/glicko2","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/glicko2.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/glicko2/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-01-18","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"glicko2","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python implementation of glicko2"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":155473,"position":10814,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.1.0"}
