Bradley-Terry Model

The Bradley-Terry model is a probabilistic model for paired comparisons that assigns a latent strength parameter to each item and predicts the probability that one item beats another in a head-to-head contest. Introduced by Ralph A. Bradley and Milton E. Terry in 1952, it provides a principled statistical framework for ranking items from pairwise preference data, including incomplete comparison designs where not every pair is directly observed.
