> The existing RecommenderEvaluator 
> (AverageAbsoluteDifferenceRecommenderEvaluator.java) has a very limited API. 
> It evaluates a Recommender's performance on a training v.s. test scenario. It 
> does not allow comparing the outputs of different recommenders against the 
> same data model. Also, I could not figure out how its comparison criteria.
> OrderBasedRecommenderEvaluator compares the output of two recommenders. It 
> only checks the order of the items in the recommendations, ignoring the 
> returned preference values.
