Abstract: The thresholding of document scores has proved critical for the e ectiveness of classi cation tasks. We review the most important approaches to thresholding, and introduce the score-distributional (S-D) threshold optimization method. The method is based on score distributions and is capable of optimizing any e ectiveness measure de ned in terms of the traditional contingency table. (Update)

...with scores above a certain threshold # are relevant. Then P (miss) is given by the area under p(x rel) bounded by # on the right (see [1] for a similar expression in the filtering case) and P (fa) is similarly found: P (miss) # p(x rel)dx and P (fa) # p(x nrel)dx...
