We can use the following configuration parameters to control, or at least balance, effects of external factors.

• The number of mentors to use in making recommendations, using the following configuration parameters:

  • <mentor_set_name>.min_mentor_ratings

  • <mentor_set_name>.max_mentor_ratings

  • <mentor_set_name>.min_mentor_transactions

  • <mentor_set_name>.max_mentor_transactions

• Balancing the mentor selection process with the following configuration parameters:
