Constructor Detail

ThresholdUserNeighborhood

public ThresholdUserNeighborhood(double threshold,
                                 UserSimilarity userSimilarity,
                                 DataModel dataModel)
Parameters:
threshold - similarity threshold
userSimilarity - similarity metric
dataModel - data model
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if threshold is Double.NaN, or if samplingRate is not positive and less than or equal to 1.0, or if userSimilarity or dataModel are null

ThresholdUserNeighborhood

public ThresholdUserNeighborhood(double threshold,
                                 UserSimilarity userSimilarity,
                                 DataModel dataModel,
                                 double samplingRate)
Parameters:
threshold - similarity threshold
userSimilarity - similarity metric
dataModel - data model
samplingRate - percentage of users to consider when building neighborhood -- decrease to trade quality for performance
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if threshold or samplingRate is Double.NaN, or if samplingRate is not positive and less than or equal to 1.0, or if userSimilarity or dataModel are null
Method Detail

getUserNeighborhood

public long[] getUserNeighborhood(long userID)
                           throws TasteException
Parameters:
userID - ID of user for which a neighborhood will be computed
Returns:
IDs of users in the neighborhood
Throws:
TasteException - if an error occurs while accessing data

toString

public String toString()
Overrides:
toString in class Object

refresh

public final void refresh(Collection<Refreshable> alreadyRefreshed)
Description copied from interface: Refreshable

Triggers "refresh" -- whatever that means -- of the implementation. The general contract is that any Refreshable should always leave itself in a consistent, operational state, and that the refresh atomically updates internal state from old to new.

Specified by:
refresh in interface Refreshable
Parameters:
alreadyRefreshed - Refreshables that are known to have already been refreshed as a result of an initial call to a Refreshable.refresh(Collection) method on some object. This ensure that objects in a refresh dependency graph aren't refreshed twice needlessly.
