Back again for another year of algorithm-induced-bias-only computer based rankings. Latest top 10, for games played through 10/4, are given below.
For a complete list visit: http://math.bd.psu.edu/faculty/rutte...sRankings.html
Ratings are based wins, loses, and ties only. Home ice, score, time of year, etc. are not included. Algorithm includes a prior (Bayesian) based on last years results, thus allowing our good friends in the Ivy league to be ranked while they wait for their seasons to start.
The rating can be used to find the probability of a team winning by finding the area to the left of (your team's rating-opponent's team rating) under a normal curve with a mean of zero and a standard deviation of one (Visit http://www.danielsoper.com/statcalc/calc02.aspx and enter your number). This calculation assumes a tie is not possible. I would be happy to answer any questions, as usual.
