public class PerFieldNormWeightingModel
extends WeightingModel

A class for generating arbitrary per-field normalisation models. Per-field normalisation models are field-based models - i.e. they take into account the frequency of a term in each individual field of the document. In particular, they apply length normalisation on the frequency from each field, before using a linear combination of term frequencies to garner the final frequency.

Properties:

• w.fieldId (starting at 0)
• c.fieldId (starting at 0)

Since:

3.0
