Detailed Description

This normalization class performs user mean normalization on raw ratings.

An example of how to use UserMeanNormalization in CF is shown below:

extern arma::mat data; // data is a (user, item, rating) table.
// Users for whom recommendations are generated.
extern arma::Col<size_t> users;
arma::Mat<size_t> recommendations; // Resulting recommendations.

// Use UserMeanNormalization as normalization method.
CFType<NMFPolicy, UserMeanNormalization> cf(data);

// Generate 10 recommendations for all users.
cf.GetRecommendations(10, recommendations);
