Hi Jim,
Thanks very much for the code. I modified it a bit because I needed to
allocate the track ratings by userid (eg if user 1 plays track x once, he
gets rating 1, user 1 plays track y 100 times, he gets a rating 5) and not
by track (sorry if this wasn't clear in my original post).
This is almost working! What I can't get right at the moment is the cutoff
interval for the ratings.
Any help please?
Sample data:
userid,track,freq
1,1,1
1,2,10
1,3,1
1,4,1
1,5,15
1,6,4
1,7,16
1,8,6
1,9,1
1,10,1
1,11,2
1,12,2
1,13,1
1,14,6
1,15,7
1,16,13
1,17,3
1,18,2
1,19,5
1,20,2
1,21,2
1,22,6
1,23,4
1,24,1
1,25,1
1,26,16
1,27,4
1,28,1
1,29,4
1,30,4
1,31,4
1,32,1
1,33,14
1,34,2
1,35,7

$'1'
20% 40% 60% 80% 100%
1 2 4 7 16
>From this distribution I would expect to distribute ratings as follows:
freq: <=1 <=2 <=4 <=7 <=16
rating: 1 2 3 4 5
But my output is (the ratings are correct except at the cut off points):
"userid" "freq" "track" "rating"
1 1 1 2
1 10 2 5
1 1 3 2
1 1 4 2
1 15 5 5
1 4 6 4
1 16 7 5
1 6 8 4
1 1 9 2
1 1 10 2
1 2 11 3
1 2 12 3
1 1 13 2
1 6 14 4
1 7 15 5
1 13 16 5
1 3 17 3
1 2 18 3
1 5 19 4
1 2 20 3
1 2 21 3
1 6 22 4
1 4 23 4
1 1 24 2
1 1 25 2
1 16 26 5
1 4 27 4
1 1 28 2
1 4 29 4
1 4 30 4
1 4 31 4
1 1 32 2
1 14 33 5
1 2 34 3
1 7 35 5
This is the code:
# cheers jim holtman
x=read.csv(file="C:\\Data\\lastfm\\ratings\\play_history_3.csv",header=T,
sep=',')
# get the quantiles for each track
tq <- tapply(x$freq,x$userid,quantile,prob=c(0.2,0.4,0.6,0.8,1))
# create a matrix with the rownames as the tracks to use in the findInterval
tqm <- do.call(rbind, tq)
#now put the ratings
require(data.table)
x.dt <- data.table(x)
x.new <- x.dt[,list(freq = freq,track=track,rating =
findInterval(freq,tqm[as.character(userid[1L]),], rightmost.closed = TRUE) +
1L),by=userid]
