The Effect of Sensitivity Analysis on the Usage of Recommender Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recommender systems have become a valuable tool for successful e-commerce. The quality of their recommendations depends heavily on how precisely consumers are able to state their preferences. However, empirical evidence has shown that the preference construction process is highly affected by uncertainties. This has a negative impact on the robustness of recommendations. If users perceive a lack of accuracy in the recommendation of recommender systems, this reduces their confidence in the recommendation generating process. This in turn negatively influences the adoption of recommender systems. We argue in this paper that sensitivity analysis is able to overcome this problem. Although sensitivity analysis has already been well studied, it was ignored to a large extent in the field of recommender systems. To close this gap, we propose a research model that shows how a sensitivity analysis and the presence of uncertainties influence decision confidence and the intention to use recommender systems.

One of the most famous methods for recommendation is user-based Collaborative Filtering (CF). This system compares active user’s items rating with historical rating records of other users to find similar users and recommending items which seems interesting to these similar users and have not been rated by the active user. As a way of computing recommendations, the ultimate goal of the user-ba...
