Abstract
We study the process of variation of a player rating in an infinite series of games with the same adversary in the Elo rating model. This process is shown to have a stationary distribution, an upper estimate of the rate of convergence to which is established. In a previous paper by the author, the existence of a limit distribution was proved under more stringent assumptions on the parameters of a rating model.
Keywords : Markov chains; iterated function system; limit distributions; local contractivity; models of rating systems
