Statistical Study of Text Retrieval System

Funded by: National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

This research will apply various advanced statistical techniques to the archived data from prior TREC conferences, to develop and test new approaches to assessing the relative performance of systems, and the statistical significance of observed differences. Produce a manual or cookbook which will enable others to perform these analyses in connection with their own work on information retrieval and forward to Mrs. Shelee Saal, Programs Administrator to the Alexandria Project Laboratory (APLab) SCILS, Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey 4 Huntington St., New Brunswick, NJ 08903, 732-932-7500, x8220; fax: 732-932-1504.
