steve2005 Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 I was not playing much with wife and had a low compatibility rating.playing much more and rating hasnt moved much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfi Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Maybe BBO knows more than you think. Oh, different sort of compatibility rating. No idea about that. But it seems pretty random even for regular partners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Playing together doesn't change the factors that are used to compute compatibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 I would agree the comp. score algorithm needs some major work. It's one of those features we added in last minute for fun and then didn't get back to it. I forgot whose idea it was but it could be a lot more useful. I can't reveal (and don't know!) the algorithm, but if you're curious, skill similarity is one of the major components right now. Of course that leads to the question of how we actually compute skill similarity (very crudely!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course that leads to the question of how we actually compute skill similarity (very crudely!).Rather than (or in addition to) your weighted sum of the various components, it would be helpful if each profile contained the raw data itself (number of hands played, total IMPs scored, etc. etc whatever you use to determine compatibility) and let us decide whether that makes us "compatible". Then you won't have to work on an algorithm to determine compatibility OR skill level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1eyedjack Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Heh. In the time that it took you to analyse all that data you could have played 5 hands with them and have a far more reliable impression of compatibility than any algorithm would provide.
