The following table is a subset of the output results from the cocktail recommendation engine (be warned some rude words in some of the cocktail names). I have tried to drill the list down to just the best matches so bear in mind there are probably 30% more matches thrown out which appear to have statistical significance but I can find no reason for the relationship (beyond sometimes they are next to each other in the large cocktail A-Z list).
Cocktail One – the cocktail someone is on, Cocktail Two – the cocktail I recommend, Probability – the probability that if someone is on cocktail one and visits another cocktail two will be that cocktail. There had to be at least 10 relationships in total recorded between cocktail one and another cocktail in my db for a cocktail to make this table.
I am hoping that as I get more data this table will grow more accurate and I will have fewer “wtf?” moments looking at the list. I also want to add two more probabilities to the calculation:
1. Probability if they visit 1 they will like 2
2. Probability if I display 2 on 1 they will click on it
Anyway for now enjoy looking at the cocktail relationships and expect more data soon.
