Abstract: A method for filtering information to predict values of preference given to items by users is provided. The method includes steps of: (a) acquiring data rui as the value of preference given by each of individual users u regarding each of individual items i; (b) obtaining estimators of means ?ui=?0+?iI+?uU by estimating ?0,?iI,?uU (u?U, i?I) that minimize ? ( u , i ) ? R ? { r ui - ? 0 - ? i I - ? u U } 2 + ? U ? ? u ? ? u U 2 + ? I ? ? i ? ? i I 2 ; (c) calculating residuals rui? by using the estimators of the means ?ui; (d) estimating spreads ?u2 of the values of the preference by individual users by using the residuals; (e) estimating matrices ? by using the residuals; (f) calculating covariance matrices ?u=?u2?; and (g) calculating B(Rui|Ruj=ruj,(u,j)?R) which is a conditional expectation value of Rui that is estimated preference data of a specific user u regarding the each item i.
