es.uam.eps.ir.relison.diffusion.metrics.features.indiv.FeatureKLDivergenceInverse<U,I,F>

Type Parameters:

U - type of the users.

I - type of the information pieces.

F - type of the features.

All Implemented Interfaces:

IndividualSimulationMetric<U,I,F>, SimulationMetric<U,I,F>

public class FeatureKLDivergenceInverse<U extends java.io.Serializable,I extends java.io.Serializable,F>
extends AbstractFeatureKLDivergence<U,I,F>

This individual metric computes the number of bytes of information we expect to lose if we approximate the observed distribution of the parameters received by the user with their prior distribution (i.e. how many times have they appeared over the different information pieces). We apply a Laplace smoothing to prevent divisions by zero in both distributions.

Constructor Details

FeatureKLDivergenceInverse

public FeatureKLDivergenceInverse(java.lang.String feature, boolean userFeat, boolean unique)

Constructor.

Parameters:

userFeat - true if we are using a user feature, false if we are using an information piece feature.

feature - the name of the feature.

unique - true if a piece of information is considered once, false if it is considered each time it appears.

Method Details

calculate

public double calculate(U user)

Description copied from interface: IndividualSimulationMetric

Calculates the metric value for a single user.

Parameters:

user - the single user.

Returns:

the value of the metric, NaN if something failed.
