Usually the input is a SocialNetwork.

And the output is a prediction has not a trust level already.

Example:

Given as input the following (simple) social network:

Me -0.7-> Ben -0.8-> Doc

Me -0.9-> Cory -0.6-> Doc

(whose meaning is: "I trust Ben 0.7 out of 1, I trust Cory 0.9 out of 1, Ben trusts Doc 0.8 out of 1, Cory trusts Doc 0.6 out of 1")

A possible output for a trust metric is: Me -0.75-> Doc (whose meaning is: "I should trust Doc 0.75 out of 1").

This is specified better in every one of the TrustMetrics we are studying and comparing.
