Since this is a classic recommendation system that
evaluates taste similarity between people based on
what they have bought, if someone knows about a
statistical study that quantifies how relevant
some system(s) like this actually is/are
(based on feedback from users on recommendations
given to them, and the number of books/products they
themselves had to valuate), I'd very much like to
have a reference. More precisely, since there surely
are dozens of such analysis, I'd like someone who
knows about them to refer me to some synthesis or
conclusion.

I am asking because I very rarely got a relevant
automatic recommendation. Is this common/uncommon?

Thanks,

Philippe
