Do you mean, for example, by playing many matches between two opponents and observing the variableness of the results to get a measure of luck?
No, I just meant a measure of luck that is derived from a measure of practical equity (I tried to clarify what I mean by thathere) in the same way that bot luck is derived from bot equity.
I wanted a definition that leads to useful properties about how luck relates to skill.
I want that too, if only because I had to explain that there are no such properties regarding luck and skill as measured by bots about a thousand times. Rollout equity based measures of luck (and skill) do have similar properties as those based on perfect equity - a pet subject of mine, even though it has been more than four years since the last time I mentioned it here. As in my mind, practical equities are just a special flavor of rollout equities (not that special, actually: Rollout equities are practical equities under the assumption that the opponents play like the bot), you see where my urge to babble about them comes from.
