Method Detail

createContext

public OutputPredictMetric.Context createContext(Attributed algo,
                                                 TTDataSet ds,
                                                 Recommender rec)

Description copied from interface: Metric

Create the context for an experimental condition (algorithm/data set pair).

Parameters:

algo - The algorithm.

ds - The data set.

rec - The LensKit recommender, if applicable. This can be null for an external algorithm that does not provide a LensKit recommender.

Returns:

The accumulator. This will be passed to Metric.measureUser(TestUser, Object). If the metric does not accumulate any results, this method can return null.

doMeasureUser

public Void doMeasureUser(TestUser user,
                          OutputPredictMetric.Context context)

Description copied from class: AbstractMetric

Measure a user with typed results.

Specified by:

doMeasureUser in class AbstractMetric<OutputPredictMetric.Context,Void,Void>

Parameters:

user - The user to measure.

context - The context.

Returns:

The results of measuring the user, or null to emit NAs for the user.

getTypedResults

protected Void getTypedResults(OutputPredictMetric.Context context)

Description copied from class: AbstractMetric

Get the typed results from an accumulator.

Specified by:

getTypedResults in class AbstractMetric<OutputPredictMetric.Context,Void,Void>

Parameters:

context - The context.

Returns:

The results accumulated for this experiment, or null to emit NAs.

close

public void close()
           throws IOException

Description copied from class: AbstractMetric

Close the metric. Many metrics do not need to be closed, so this implementation is a no-op.

Specified by:

close in interface Closeable

Specified by:

close in interface AutoCloseable

Overrides:

close in class AbstractMetric<OutputPredictMetric.Context,Void,Void>

Throws:

IOException - if there is an error closing the metric.
