Understanding Raw Data

I consider myself a relative newbie, so when I looked at my Raw Data for Recommendations it lists decimals, such as .12, .15, etc. What exactly does that mean? I can find no explanations.

  • It is a correlation calculation. Recommendations are calculated by an algorithm and the "raw data" gives a number about how close the recommended styles are to the measurements and such from your own profile. You can think of it as a percentage, almost, where a 1.00 is a perfect correlation. It is only a correlation not a percentage match because of all the variables that go into fit and the recognition of the fact that the algorithm is limited.

    Your profile identifying bras that fit are involved by "same cut" and thus offer a higher correlation than those purely based on measurements
