Abstract The James function, also known as the “log5 method”, assigns a probability to the result of a competition between two teams based on their respective winning percentages. This paper, which builds on earlier work of the authors and Steven J. Miller, explores the analogous situation where a single team or player competes simultaneously against multiple opponents.

多对手詹姆斯函数

摘要 James 函数，也称为“log5 方法”，它根据两支球队各自的胜率为他们之间的比赛结果分配一个概率。这篇论文基于作者和 Steven J. Miller 的早期工作，探讨了单个团队或玩家同时与多个对手竞争的类似情况。
