      extended by org.terrier.matching.models.normalisation.NormalisationStatic
All Implemented Interfaces:
java.io.Serializable

public class NormalisationStatic
extends Normalisation

This class implements a Normalisation method that forces all term frequencies to the value of the parameter. If field retrieval is enabled, then the parameter is multiplied by the field weight.
