Summary

Fixes the issue where predictiveness values and individual ratings were being incorrectly rounded to integers, causing predictiveness scores that should be in the range 0.0-1.0 to be rounded up to 1.0.

Problem

The reputation system was incorrectly rounding floating-point values during internal calculations:

  1. Predictiveness values (range 0.0-1.0) were being rounded to integers (0 or 1) when stored in Counter objects
  2. Individual ratings were being unnecessarily rounded during differential reputation calculations
  3. This caused loss of precision in reputation blending and predictiveness calculations

Root Cause

The issue occurred in two places:

  1. Counter.java (line 106): The count(Linker other) method was calling round() on all values, converting doubles to integers
  2. Reputationer.java (line 472): Unnecessary Math.round() was applied to differential rating calculations

Solution

1. Fixed Counter.count(Linker) method

Modified the method to preserve double/float precision:

  • Now checks if the value is a Double or Float type
  • If so, uses count(key, value.doubleValue()) to preserve precision
  • Only rounds integer-like types (Integer, Long, Short)

2. Removed unnecessary rounding in Reputationer

Removed Math.round() call from line 472:

// Before:
differential.count(ratee, raterValue * Math.round(r[0]), 0);

// After:
differential.count(ratee, raterValue * r[0], 0);

Impact

  • Predictiveness scores now maintain their full precision (e.g., 0.75 instead of 1.0)
  • Individual ratings are calculated with accurate decimal values
  • Reputation blending calculations are more accurate
  • No breaking changes to the API or storage format

Testing

The changes preserve backward compatibility while fixing the precision issue. The Counter class still rounds integer types as before, ensuring existing functionality remains intact.

The reputation system was incorrectly rounding predictiveness values (which should be
in the range 0.0-1.0) to integers, causing them to be rounded up to 1.0 or down to 0.

Changes:
1. Counter.count(Linker): Modified to preserve double/float values instead of rounding
   them to integers. Now only rounds integer-like types (Integer, Long, Short).
2. Reputationer.java line 472: Removed unnecessary Math.round() call when computing
   differential ratings from ComplexNumber values.

This ensures that predictiveness scores and other fractional reputation values are
stored and processed with their full precision, allowing for more accurate reputation
calculations and proper blending of scores.
