Given two random variables X and Y whose joint distribution is known, the marginal distribution of X is simply the probability distribution of X averaging over information about Y. It is the probability distribution of X when the value of Y is not known. This is typically calculated by summing or integrating the joint probability distribution over Y. '

For discrete random variables, the marginal probability mass function can be written as Pr(X = x). This is

where Pr(X = x,Y = y) is the joint distribution of X and Y, while Pr(X = x|Y = y) is the conditional distribution of X given Y In this case, the variable Y has been marginalized out.

Bivariate marginal and joint probabilities for discrete random variables are often displayed as two-way tables.

Similarly for continuous random variables, the marginal probability density function

can be written as pX(x). This is

Note that a marginal probability can always be written as an expected value:

Text, letter Description automatically generated

Intuitively, the marginal probability of X is computed by examining the conditional probability of X given a particular value of Y, and then averaging this conditional probability over the distribution of all values of Y This follows from the definition of expected value, i.e. in general

The MAE measures the average magnitude of the errors in a set of forecasts, without considering their direction. It measures accuracy for continuous variables. The equation is given in the library references. Expressed in words, the MAE is the average over the verification sample of the absolute values of the differences between forecast and the corresponding observation. The MAE is a linear score which means that all the individual differences are weighted equally in the average.

The sum of absolute errors is a valid metric, but doesn't give any useful sense of how the recommender system is performing.

Support vector count and cluster density do not apply to recommender systems.

MAE and AUC are both valid and useful metrics for measuring recommender systems.
