DATA 607 Assignment 3A - Approach

Approach

For this assignment, I hope to utilize the movie ratings I gathered to develop a Global Baseline Estimate recommendation system in R. I will initially organize and check the ratings data, accounting for missing values. I will then compute the general average rating and apply the given Global Baseline Estimate algorithm to manage the deltas between people and movies. At the end, I will compare the rating estimates and utilize them to understand which movie ought to be recommended. The objective is to conceptualize how a straightforward, non-personalized recommendation can consider patterns in survey data to yield recommendations.
