Constructor Details

NormalizationH3

public NormalizationH3()

Calls NormalizationH3(800)

NormalizationH3

public NormalizationH3(float mu)

Creates NormalizationH3 with the supplied parameter μ.

Parameters:

mu - smoothing parameter μ

Method Details

tfn

public double tfn(BasicStats stats,
 double tf,
 double len)

Description copied from class: Normalization

Returns the normalized term frequency.

Specified by:

tfn in class Normalization

len - the field length.

explain

public Explanation explain(BasicStats stats,
 double tf,
 double len)

Description copied from class: Normalization

Returns an explanation for the normalized term frequency.

The default normalization methods use the field length of the document and the average field length to compute the normalized term frequency. This method provides a generic explanation for such methods. Subclasses that use other statistics must override this method.

Overrides:

explain in class Normalization

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from class: Normalization

Subclasses must override this method to return the code of the normalization formula. Refer to the original paper for the list.

Specified by:

toString in class Normalization

getMu

public float getMu()

Returns the parameter μ
