<br/><br/>This book offers an engaging and accessible account of how scientific rating and ranking methods are created and applied to a variety of uses. The authors provide the first comprehensive overview of the mathematical algorithms and methods used to rate and rank sports teams, political candidates, products, Web pages, and more. They survey and compare the different methods employed today, showing why their strengths and weaknesses depend on the underlying goal, and explaining why and when a given method should be considered.
