Peer reviewedOttaviani, J. S. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1994
Discusses precision and recall in information science and proposes a new model based on fractal geometry for clusters of relevant documents. Search strategies for retrieving a group of relevant documents are reviewed; fractal sets and chaotic processes are described; and the new model is explained. (Contains 43 references.) (LRW)

Miller, Edward M. – 1979
Those responsible for selection for employment or schooling should use unbiased procedures which predict individual performance, evaluate individuals, and identify the highest ranked individuals. The problem of personnel selection can be viewed as a problem in decision theory in which group membership (race, age, religion) provides a certain…
