	Rating system description
		Ratings across the different divisions are reasonably well calibrated, but I can't guarantee perfect calibration due to the small number of inter-divisional matches played.
		Teams are ranked in the ratings tables on the basis of their ratings, but the ranks have no direct interpretation independent of the ratings.
		In the ratings tables, the column labeled SE (standard error) is an estimate of the uncertainty in the rating.

		Professional ranks are conferred by these institutions according to certain rules, and as a result professional rank has as a lot to do with seniority.
		Going back to the higher education metaphor, an exceptionally smart and motivated non-academic might well know more about, say, computer science than a run-of-the-mill Ph.D. The other side of this confusing coin is that there are many different strengths of amateur 6-dan.
		For example, against an opponent of constant strength going from 4 stones to 3 stones is a bigger jump than going from 5 stones to 4.

	Student ratings/Evaluation 92
		The increase in use of student ratings comes, not coincidentally, at a time when state legislatures and other funding sources are giving closer scrutiny to the teaching missions and effectiveness of higher education institutions and demanding greater accountability from them.
		Specifically, ratings are lower in lower level courses which are often required, and ratings are lower in courses with large sections.
		No mean differences in the ratings by course level should be welcome news to faculty who fear that having to teach lower level courses will adversely affect their ratings.

		Improved RPI Rating The improved RPI formula is similar to the standard RPI, except that the schedule strength is carried out to infinite depth instead of ending with opponents' opponents, thus allows for a better comparison of isolated groups of teams than is given by the standard RPI calculation.
		The ratings shown for basketball and baseball approximate the real-life selections, but because each individual on a committee considers gives different weights to each factor it is impossible to perfectly predict the selections and seeds.
		The number is the predictive rating of an opponent against whom the team would be expected to score the league average number of points.

		Go is deep, as playing against any stronger player will demonstrate (Go ranks and ratings#Depth of the gamedepth of the game as established by Go ranks and ratings#Go rating with ELOELO ranking in Go).
		Go appears to stand apart among games in its rules and gameplay; it is difficult to find another board game which could be considered of the same "family" as Go.
		Professional ranks are awarded by professional organizations and though they are less well defined, they are closer, so that the difference between an average 1p and a prime 9p may be three handicap stones (however, tournament games are even).

		The USCF measures chess ratings down to zero, usually among kindergarten players, so one could argue that there are as many as 16 ranks of depth in chess.

	Ratings Criteria - Product Reviews and Reports by Consumer Search - ConsumerSearch.com
		Our highest ratings go to reviews that are the result of tests and that document their assumptions, test criteria and other methodology.
		If an article is ranked low on our site, it is not necessarily "bad." The very same article can receive a high ranking in one of our reports and a low ranking in another.
		We are especially hesitant to give high rankings to reviews that are too glib and uncritical or that sound like advertising copy, which is sometimes an indication that a publication is too close to its advertisers.

		Although the three components come out of the predictive rating system, they are not combined in a similar fashion at all (no surprise, given that voters are not computers).
		In NCAA selection committees, the "gut feeling" ranking is provided for the committee in the form of RPI rankings.
		The pairwise ranking is based on a single "ballot" using the average selection profile for the sport in question.

	Sensei's Library: Migeru's musings on go ratings
		where p is the probability of the weaker player winning, D1 is the difference in ranks between the twoplayers, and D0 is the number of ranks between the weaker player and shodan.
		I don't think it is particularly sensible to subdivide ranks into 100 parts like most rating systems do, especially if a margin of error is not given.
		For example, right now my EGF rating could be described as '1/20 of a rank weaker than an average 10k', which IMHO is much more precise than the fuzziness of the concepts involved allows.

	Wine Ratings - Unraveling Their Meaning
		The five-star ratings were awarded because the producer/Grower make the greatest wine of their particular viticultural region, and because they are remarkably consistent and reliable even in mediocre and poor vintages.
		When you read the ratings, think in term of those grades A - F, but also keep in mind (or on your palate), that what is one individual's or panel's Grade A wine could be a F for you.
		For example, a wine with a rating of 87-90 is sorted as though it had a precise score of 88.5.

	Go ranks and ratings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Go is one of the deepest games - easy to learn, hard to play well.
		What the whole list of go ranks cannot show is the asymptotic shape of the skill improvement over time (increasing efforts with diminishing returns).

	USNews.com: With his polls down, Bush takes flak on Iraq from a host of critics--including a key moderate Republican
		With the rate of insurgent attacks near an all-time high and the war's cost set to top $230 billion, more politicians on both sides of the aisle are responding to opinion polls that show a growing number of Americans favoring a withdrawal from Iraq.
		And two Republicans, including the congressman who brought "freedom fries" to the Capitol, even joined a pair of Democratic colleagues in sponsoring a bill calling for a troop withdrawal plan to be drawn up by year's end.
		The measure is not likely to go anywhere, but Hagel calls it "a major crack in the dike." Whether or not that's so, the White House has reason to worry that the assortment of critiques of Bush's wartime performance may be approaching a tipping point.

	The Cook Political Report
		In the House, prior to the runoff in Texas' 23rd Congressional District, one of the San Antonio newspapers suggested the outcome would either be a period or an exclamation point for the 2006 midterm elections.
		With Clinton routinely getting favorable ratings in the 70 to 80 percent range among Democrats, the most important challenge for her is to convince her own party members that she can win a general election.
		With favorable ratings that high among party members, there would have to be a pretty good reason for them not to nominate her, but today, electability is going to be a huge factor, a very important dynamic in both parties' nomination contests and far more important than it was in the old days.

	TheStreet.com Ratings: Finding Growth in Singapore
		The country's economic fundamentals -- year-over-year GDP growth of 8.1% as of October, low consumer-price inflation of 0.7%, a 2.8% jobless rate and the largest current-account surplus (28.5%), as a percentage of GDP, of any Asian nation -- are very healthy.
		The key point for investors is that Singapore, even if facing a lower GDP rate, is likely to be a very attractive investment, as capital tends to seek stable, well-run economies producing competitive returns.
		In keeping with TSC's Investment Policy, employees of TheStreet.com Ratings with access to pre-publication ratings data must pre-clear any potential trade through the legal department, and are prohibited from trading any security that is the subject of an unpublished rating revision until the second business day after the rating is published.

		This rating reflects the rating agency's judgement regarding the issuer's ability to repay the bond's principal at maturity as well as its ability to make timely interest payments.
		Conversely, a bond with a lower credit rating will generally pay a higher rate of interest to compensate investors for the higher degree of risk.
		To help you assess the quality of fixed-income securities, rating agencies research the issuer's ability to repay debt and then assign a rating symbol that ranks the quality of the bonds.
