Constructor Detail

GlobalBiasModel

public GlobalBiasModel(double bias)

Construct a new global bias model.

Parameters:

bias - The global bias.

Method Detail

getIntercept

public double getIntercept()

Description copied from interface: BiasModel

Get the global bias (intercept).

Specified by:

getIntercept in interface BiasModel

Returns:

The global bias.

getUserBias

public double getUserBias(long user)

Description copied from interface: BiasModel

Get the user bias.

Specified by:

getUserBias in interface BiasModel

Parameters:

user - The user ID.

Returns:

The bias for the specified user, or 0 if the user’s bias is unknown.

getItemBias

public double getItemBias(long item)

Description copied from interface: BiasModel

Get the item bias.

Specified by:

getItemBias in interface BiasModel

Parameters:

item - The item ID.

Returns:

The bias for the specified ite, or 0 if the item’s bias is unknown.

getUserBiases

public Long2DoubleMap getUserBiases(LongSet users)

Description copied from interface: BiasModel

Get a set of user biases.

Specified by:

getUserBiases in interface BiasModel

Parameters:

users - The users whose biases are to be returned.

Returns:

A mapping from user IDs to biases. It is not guaranteed to contain all user IDs in its key set, but its Long2DoubleFunction.defaultReturnValue() will be 0.

getItemBiases

public Long2DoubleMap getItemBiases(LongSet items)

Description copied from interface: BiasModel

Get a set of item biases.

Specified by:

getItemBiases in interface BiasModel

Parameters:

items - The items whose biases are to be returned.

Returns:

A mapping from item IDs to biases. It is not guaranteed to contain all item IDs in its key set, but its Long2DoubleFunction.defaultReturnValue() will be 0.
