Sean Owen commented on MAHOUT-906:
----------------------------------

No I think it's as simple as factoring out this section of code in 
GenericRecommenderIRStatsEvaluator, that's all:


      FastIDSet relevantItemIDs = new FastIDSet(at);

      // List some most-preferred items that would count as (most) "relevant" 
results
      double theRelevanceThreshold = Double.isNaN(relevanceThreshold) ? 
computeThreshold(prefs) : relevanceThreshold;

      prefs.sortByValueReversed();

      for (int i = 0; i < size && relevantItemIDs.size() < at; i++) {
        if (prefs.getValue(i) >= theRelevanceThreshold) {
          relevantItemIDs.add(prefs.getItemID(i));
        }
      }


I had thought you were not changing the estimated-based test? but there it is a 
matter of factoring out what splitOneUsersPrefs() does.

> I want to start a discussion about factoring out the logic used in splitting 
> the data set into training and testing.  Here is how things stand:  There are 
> two independent evaluator based classes:  
> AbstractDifferenceRecommenderEvaluator, splits all the preferences randomly 
> into a training and testing set.  GenericRecommenderIRStatsEvaluator takes 
> one user at a time, removes their top AT preferences, and counts how many of 
> them the system recommends back.
> I have two use cases that both deal with temporal dynamics.  In one case, 
> there may be expired items that can be used for building a training model, 
> but not a test model.  In the other, I may want to simulate the behavior of a 
> real system by building a preference matrix on days 1-k, and testing on the 
> ratings the user generated on the day k+1.  In this case, it's not items, but 
> preferences(user, item, rating triplets) which may belong only to the 
> training set.  Before we discuss appropriate design, are there any other use 
> cases we need to keep in mind?
