CRANV2 Aslib Cranfield Research Project: Factors Determining the Performance of Indexing Systems: Volume 2 Main test results chapter Cyril Cleverdon Michael Keen Cranfield An investigation supported by a grant to Aslib by the National Science Foundation.

Tables 4.200T to 4.206T give the performance results, and the recall]precision plots given in Figs. 4.200P to 4.206P show the curve for the particular language being tested, together with the curve, (shown by a broken line) obtained by the device-less search in natural language, which was presented in the previous section as Fig. 4.140P. A combined plot of all the seven devices or their aggregates, together with natural language, is given in Fig. 4.207P. In presenting these results, all other possible variables of search rules, indexing exhaustivity and document relevance are held constant, and are fixed to the one particular variation indicated at the head of the tables.
