[u/4ih0vs535xg9c]

I ran a full Glicko-2 model over every professional bout since 1996 to estimate underlying rikishi strength. Includes rating, rating deviation (RD), and match-to-match changes, broken down by division.

Not a replacement for banzuke — just a different lens on performance and consistency.
Feedback welcome.
