Hi Experts,
Please refer to the web page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TrueSkill
What I would like to know is what does the following mean?
"As such N(x) can be interpreted as the probability that the player's "true" skill is x."
If my Mu is 25 and my Sigma is 3 how are these values used in the above to give my skill?

Thanks for your reply, I have some questions.
How do I calculate the error function?
What does 3sqrt2 mean?
Where do the values of X0 and X1 come from?
Can I work out the X0 and X1 values for a given probability of say 99%?
