Goal

Start implementing the temporal decay to the Fighter class based on the Exponential Decay function.

Notes

Last time I created a function that could weight the priors from more recent fights more heavily and discount past information based on how long ago that happened. Today I started adding this functionality to the Fighter class of the fight_simulator.ipynb script. I added the exponential decay function to the Fighter class then implemented the discount factor for the extract_attempt_priors method and made sure that matched up with my sample data (which it did!). Now I just have to apply this to the implementation of the other priors.

Results

• Implemented the temporal Exponential Decay for the extract_attempt_priors method.

Next Time

• Continue to implement Exponential Decay on other priors.
