Examples

e.single(ELO1old = 1200, ELO2old = 1000, outcome = 1, k = 100)
# same as before
e.single(ELO1old = 1000, ELO2old = 1200, outcome = 2, k = 100)
# an undecided interaction
e.single(ELO1old = 1200, ELO2old = 1000, outcome = 0, k = 100)
# if rating differences are too big, no change occurs
# if higher-rated individual wins
e.single(ELO1old = 2000, ELO2old = 1000, outcome = 1, k = 100)
# same as before but lower-rated individual wins and
# therefore wins maximum number of points possible (i.e. k)
e.single(ELO1old = 2000, ELO2old = 1000, outcome = 2, k = 100)
