Class BasicModelD

java.lang.Object
org.apache.lucene.search.similarities.BasicModel
org.apache.lucene.search.similarities.BasicModelD
public class BasicModelD extends BasicModel
Implements the approximation of the binomial model with the divergence for DFR. The formula used in Lucene differs slightly from the one in the original paper: to avoid underflow for small values of N and F, N is increased by 1 and F is always increased by tfn+1.

WARNING: for terms that do not meet the expected random distribution (e.g. stopwords), this model may give poor performance, such as abnormally high scores for low tf values.
