No it is just a tuning.... :) Another question is about the prior integration. Apparently the prior, RAVE > and UCT values are three different estimators for the winning probability. > So why not use the above formula for prior vs. RAVE balancing, too, instead > of initializing RAVE with it? > Our prior is actually classical and equivalent to a Dirichlet prior for the RAVE value. Of course we could put the prior in other ways, put I strongly believe that at this point the relevance of the prior is more important that the way you use it. Cheers, Sylvain
