Glickman’s RD is this same object, derived from a different starting assumption but converging on an identical use. He states the correspondence in his own words, not as an analogy this article is imposing on his work: a Glicko rating and RD together are “usually more informative to summarize a player’s strength in the form of an interval… report a 95% confidence interval.
