Understanding the price Clauseedit
The price
clause is a little trickier. The user’s preferred price is
anything up to £100, but this example sets the origin to £50. Prices can’t be
negative, but the lower they are, the better. Really, any price between £0 and
£100 should be considered optimal.
If we were to set the origin
to £100, then prices below £100 would receive a
lower score. Instead, we set both the origin
and the offset
to £50. That
way, the score decays only for any prices above £100 (origin + offset
).
