Detailed Description

Evaluation class for rating prediction.

Member Function Documentation

static double ComputeCBD	(	double	actual_rating,
		double	prediction,
		double	min_rating,
		double	max_rating
	)			[inline, static]

Compute the capped binomial deviation (CBD).

http://www.kaggle.com/c/ChessRatings2/Details/Evaluation

Returns:

The CBD of a given rating and a prediction

Parameters:

	actual_rating	the actual rating
	prediction	the predicted rating
	min_rating	the lower bound of the rating scale
	max_rating	the upper bound of the rating scale

static double ComputeFit

(

this RatingPredictor

recommender

)

[inline, static]

Computes the RMSE fit of a recommender on the training data.

Returns:

the RMSE on the training data

Parameters:

recommender

the rating predictor to evaluate

static RatingPredictionEvaluationResults Evaluate	(	this IRatingPredictor	recommender,
		IRatings	ratings
	)			[inline, static]

Evaluates a rating predictor for RMSE, (N)MAE, and CBD.

See http://recsyswiki.com/wiki/Root_mean_square_error and http://recsyswiki.com/wiki/Mean_absolute_error

For NMAE, see the paper by Goldberg et al.

For CBD (capped binomial deviance), see http://www.kaggle.com/c/ChessRatings2/Details/Evaluation

If the recommender can take time into account, and the rating dataset provides rating times, this information will be used for making rating predictions.

Parameters:

	recommender	rating predictor
	ratings	Test cases

Returns:

a Dictionary containing the evaluation results
