I also have problems with index out of bounds, did you figure it out @antonioalegria?

Do you know what version of the libraries you ran this with @jbochi? Running now with

pandas: 0.23.4
numpy: 1.15.2
scipy: 1.1.0
implicit: 0.3.8
sklearn: 0.20.0

My original dataset is of shape:

<20210x4324 sparse matrix of type '<class 'numpy.float64'>'
	with 116992 stored elements in COOrdinate format>

and the truth variable in ndcg_scorer transforms the test split to shape (20206, 4324), while the predictions variable is of shape (20210, 4310).

So this is what's causing the index out of bounds error.

Edit: By changing the p variable, I managed to correct the predictions shape, but I don't understand why the truth variable is of shape (20206, 4324). My guess is the same as yours @antonioalegria, that in LeavePOutByGroup, in one of the splits there are users that don't have purchased some products, hence the full dimensions are not restored in truth

Okay, by filtering out purchases with fewer customers than x (trying out different values), I managed to get a correct truth shape, but now the predictions shape is off. Aah... :) Do you know of any heuristic @jbochi?

@joddm @antonioalegria
From my understanding, p in LeavePOutByGroup() should be <= to the (minimum number of items per user)/2.
For exemple, if your dataset has a user with activity for only 4 items, p should be <= 2.

Either you rebuild your dataset to include only users with activity for more products, or you filter out users with less than p*2 products from the test sets.

Hope that makes sense

It resolved the index out of bound error on my end.

If my dataset is mostly just 2 items per users, I assume LeavePOutByGroup is not the way to go? Because if I understand correctly, this would mean that each split would have mostly 1 item per users and therefore the model has nothing to learn.

@jbochi what is the license on this gist?
