// Subset of user ratings that you want recommendations and similar users for.
// Note: This example shows one user, but can work for multiple users at once.
const subUserRatings = {
    user10: allUserRatings['user10']
};

// Sum of scores of people who gave program 1 a rating of x gave to program 2
// Intermediate structure for user recommendations. Should be cached.
const allProgramScores = okayRecs.programScores(allUserRatings);

// What programs are the users most likely to like?
const subUserRecommendations = okayRecs.userRecommendations(allProgramScores, subUserRatings);

// What other users is this user similar to?
const subUserSimilarUsers = okayRecs.similarUsers(allUserRatings, subUserRatings);
