predict

protected double predict(int userIdx,
             int itemIdx)
                  throws LibrecException

Description copied from class: AbstractRecommender

predict a specific rating for user userIdx on item itemIdx, note that the prediction is not bounded. It is useful for building models with no need to bound predictions.

Specified by:

predict in class AbstractRecommender

Parameters:

userIdx - user index

itemIdx - item index

Returns:

predictive rating for user userIdx on item itemIdx without bound

Throws:

LibrecException - if error occurs during predicting

predictRating

protected double predictRating(int userIdx,
                   int itemIdx)

predictRanking

protected double predictRanking(int userIdx,
                    int itemIdx)
