Method Detail

lengthNorm

public float lengthNorm(String fieldName,
                        int numTerms)

Implemented as 1/sqrt(numTerms).

Specified by:

lengthNorm in class Similarity

Parameters:

fieldName - the name of the field

numTerms - the total number of tokens contained in fields named fieldName of doc.

Returns:

a normalization factor for hits on this field of this document

See Also:

Field.setBoost(float)

queryNorm

public float queryNorm(float sumOfSquaredWeights)

Implemented as 1/sqrt(sumOfSquaredWeights).

Specified by:

queryNorm in class Similarity

Parameters:

sumOfSquaredWeights - the sum of the squares of query term weights

Returns:

a normalization factor for query weights

tf

public float tf(float freq)

Implemented as sqrt(freq).

Specified by:

tf in class Similarity

Parameters:

freq - the frequency of a term within a document

Returns:

a score factor based on a term's within-document frequency

sloppyFreq

public float sloppyFreq(int distance)

Implemented as 1 / (distance + 1).

Specified by:

sloppyFreq in class Similarity

Parameters:

distance - the edit distance of this sloppy phrase match

Returns:

the frequency increment for this match

See Also:

PhraseQuery.setSlop(int)

idf

public float idf(int docFreq,
                 int numDocs)

Implemented as log(numDocs/(docFreq+1)) + 1.

Specified by:

idf in class Similarity

Parameters:

docFreq - the number of documents which contain the term

numDocs - the total number of documents in the collection

Returns:

a score factor based on the term's document frequency

coord

public float coord(int overlap,
                   int maxOverlap)

Implemented as overlap / maxOverlap.

Specified by:

coord in class Similarity

Parameters:

overlap - the number of query terms matched in the document

maxOverlap - the total number of terms in the query

Returns:

a score factor based on term overlap with the query
