Croft, W. Bruce

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, v37 n2 p71-77 Mar 1986

Proposes approach to integrating Boolean and statistical systems where Boolean queries are interpreted as a means of specifying term dependencies in relevant set of documents. Highlights include series of retrieval experiments designed to test retrieval strategy based on term dependence model and relation of results to other work. (18 references) (EJS)
