Compatibility Inconsistencies
- Posted by grouprecipes on February 9th, 2007 filed in Uncategorized
I got a few emails from people asking why the taste compatibility values are different on the people search and the actual user’s page. The answer is computational complexity. The foodie-to-foodie comparisons on a user’s personal page take into account a heck of a lot more factors and are more accurate than those in the search result set. The bottom line is that the compatibility values in the search result set are close enough to serve as a general guide (the value will fall within one standard deviation of the value on the user’s page).
So this isn’t a “bug” perse, but probably needs a bit of documentation. Ahhh….documentation…I swear it is coming.
