public class BasicModelBE
extends BasicModel

Limiting form of the Bose-Einstein model. The formula used in Lucene differs slightly from the one in the original paper: F is increased by tfn+1 and N is increased by F

WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

NOTE: in some corner cases this model may give poor performance or infinite scores with Normalizations that return large or small values for tfn such as NormalizationH3. Consider using the geometric approximation (BasicModelG) instead, which provides the same relevance but with less practical problems.
