Manual update tasks

On a new major Dota version, update constants.js

TODOs

• add tooltips to explain mu, sigma
• add estimated WL + Role stats to the heroes page
• currently the prior is Beta(75, 75), evaluate alternatives that have solid mathematical rationale. User feedback states the current value seems high.

Visualizations

• add win/loss statistics

  • autocorrelation
  • runs a 2^-n overlay, autocorrelation
  • run sequence horizon charts? {mark: line, x: idx, y: saturating windowed sum}

• add team comp by total role graphs

  • {mark: line, row: role, x: value, y: count, color: win}
  • {mark: point, row: role, x: value, y: est. w/l} + curve fit?

• replace vega-embed with vue-vega when it works

• add graphs conceptually similar to K+A vs. D

  • GPM, XPM, dmg?

• add interactivity

  • input to limit date range or patch versions (done for matches, maybe generalize to all pages?)
  • alternative facet dimensions, e.g. "str/agi/int" instead of "win/loss" (done for matches, maybe generalize to all pages?)
  • filtering games by hero role / player position (GPM as proxy for 1-5?)

• add timeseries of windowed estimates

  • estimated W/L ratio per hero or per role?
  • user-configurable window size, either #games or #days?
  • possibly show via cubism.js or by adding spark lines to vega-lite?

TODONTs

• add webpack
