Bradley-Terry Model with Exponential Time Decayed Log-Likelihood and Adaptive Lasso

We utilize the Bradley-Terry Model to estimate the abilities of teams using paired comparison data. For dynamic approximation of current rankings, we employ the Exponential Decayed Log-likelihood function, and we also apply the Lasso penalty for variance reduction and grouping. The main algorithm applies the Augmented Lagrangian Method described by Masarotto and Varin (2012) <doi:10.1214/12-AOAS581>.
