    Abstract: A method is provided for determining a correlation between a reference user and another user on the basis of two sets of ratings, where each rating is associated with a respective user. In response to a trigger,user ratings associated with the reference user and user ratings associated with the other user are collected, and all co- rated items of these two sets are correlated in the basis of an adjusted cosine correlation function which is weighted by a first and a second weighting function. The correlation is then stored and may be repeated for a plurality of users. The stored correlations may be used e.g. for ranking purposes.
