Hello.
I have a quick question.
I try to use logit regression, to work out probabilities in the sport event.
I have work out probabilities for group of 2 players:
p1 - probability, what player1 will beat player2
p2 - probability, what player2 will beat player1
pt - tie probability, p1 <- 1 - p1 - p2;
Now i want to work out probabilities for group of 3 players, like:
pg1 - probability, what player1 will beat player2 and player3
pg2 - probability, what player2 will beat player1 and player3
pg3 - probability, what player3 will beat player1 and player2
I have probabilities for every pair of players in that group. Is there a
function in R, what can simply convert this 2-way probabilities in to the
3-way (or more)? Or can some body suggest, how to do it manually? I have try
to work it out, buy just multiply corresponding probabilities, but it seems
a bad way.
So each player gets a score and the highest wins?
And your two-way probabilities are just the probability that player1
scores higher than player2, etc? Or that player1 won over player2 given
that player3 did not win?
Or you have a bunch of one-on-one competitions and you want to predict
what will happen in a three way competition?
Have a Google at 'McFadden conditional logit'. There is a literature that
should point you in the right direction.
Once you have a sense of what goes in conditional logit models you may
find survival::clogit() to be of assistance.
HTH,
