我正在尝试应用Bayesian rating formula,但如果我对5千个中的1个进行评分,则最终评分大于5。
例如,一个给定的项目没有投票,在用1星投票170,000次后,其最终评级为5.23。如果我评分为100,则它具有正常值。
以下是我在PHP中的内容。
<?php
// these values came from DB
$total_votes = 2936; // total of votes for all items
$total_rating = 582.955; // sum of all ratings
$total_items = 202;
// now the specific item, it has no votes yet
$this_num_votes = 0;
$this_score = 0;
$this_rating = 0;
// simulating a lot of votes with 1 star
for ($i=0; $i < 170000; $i++) {
$rating_sent = 1; // the new rating, always 1
$total_votes++; // adding 1 to total
$total_rating = $total_rating+$rating_sent; // adding 1 to total
$avg_num_votes = ($total_votes/$total_items); // Average number of votes in all items
$avg_rating = ($total_rating/$total_items); // Average rating for all items
$this_num_votes = $this_num_votes+1; // Number of votes for this item
$this_score = $this_score+$rating_sent; // Sum of all votes for this item
$this_rating = $this_score/$this_num_votes; // Rating for this item
$bayesian_rating = ( ($avg_num_votes * $avg_rating) + ($this_num_votes * $this_rating) ) / ($avg_num_votes + $this_num_votes);
}
echo $bayesian_rating;
?>
即使我用1或2:
$rating_sent = rand(1,2)
100,000票后的最终评分超过5。
我刚刚使用
进行了一项新测试$rating_sent = rand(1,5)
在100,000之后我得到一个完全超出范围范围的值(10.53)。我知道在正常情况下,没有项目将获得170,000票,而所有其他项目都没有投票。但我想知道我的代码是否有问题,或者这是考虑到大量投票的贝叶斯公式的预期行为。
修改
为了说清楚,这里有一些变量的更好解释。
$avg_num_votes // SUM(votes given to all items)/COUNT(all items)
$avg_rating // SUM(rating of all items)/COUNT(all items)
$this_num_votes // COUNT(votes given for this item)
$this_score // SUM(rating for this item)
$bayesian_rating // is the formula itself
公式为:( (avg_num_votes * avg_rating) + (this_num_votes * this_rating) ) / (avg_num_votes + this_num_votes)
。取自here
答案 0 :(得分:3)
在计算avg_rating时,您需要除以total_votes而不是total_items。
我做了这些改变并得到了一些在这里表现得更好的东西。
