Very cool, Tore. Generally this would all go right over my head, so thank you for explaining it all so well. :)

Really nice list Tore. It seems my tastes are pretty compatible... and happy to be grouped with Bulldog and Numbernine:D.

Kayleigh, seems no one like electronica quite as much as you.

One thing about Kayleigh is she hasn't been registered on last.fm for very long either .. barely a month! That's going to have an effect on the statistics so I suggest if we do this again that we set some kind of lower limit to how many plays participants have in their last.fm, perhaps 5000 plays or so. ;)

I loved it, and thanks for the explanations Tore :D
So I won't be joining you for the next similarity project [5000 plays would be hard to get by for next week :P] But I'm sure it'll be interesting.

Very impressive work, tortorden. Just curious as to why made user name in the matrix is '80'? Also I think in the example under the first graph you mean MC not MD. Not trying to be critical, just some things I noticed.

I don't really understand the last graph. Your suppose to have a similar taste to those you are closer to yet Urban and I are quite close on the graph and had a score of 40 where as Captain Caveman and I are further apart but scored a 60. Is this what you mean by errors or am I just reading it wrong?

80? Whoops, must be search and replace error or something >.<

Yep, your observation is part of what I meant about errors. Basically, I couldn't get a very satisfying mds plot. It shows some general trends - f.ex those who are similar to many show up towards the middle of the clutter - but it's not a good fit for everything.

The dendrogram is better!

edit :

Oh, the mds plot shows not just how similar you are in tastes, but it compares all scores with everyone. You may have a low score with someone you're close to, but maybe you're somewhat similar because you share a pattern in similarity/dissimilarity towards other people.

That makes more sense, thanks. Again, good work.

For example, my tastes are more similar to Anteater's (100) than Kayleigh (0) and Captain Caveman (0). KL is really the lone wolf here.
