# This code implements measures discussed in the SIGIR 2008 paper
# "A Simple and Efficient Sampling Method for Estimating AP and NDCG"
# by Emine Yilmaz, Evangelos Kanoulas, and Javed A. Aslam. See the ACM
# Digital Library or www.ccs.neu.edu/home/ekanou/research/papers/mypapers/sigir08b.pdf
# 
# The code implements the measures xinfAP and NDCG. xinfAP is an extension
# of infAP and allows for random sampling at different rates for different
# strata of the pooled system output to be judged. For this measure the
# ground truth (qrels) contain an extra field identifying which stratum
# each document comes from.
#
# Recipients of this software assume all responsibilities associated with 
# its operation, modification and maintenance.
# 
# CHANGE LOG 
#
# 10 Oct 11; NIST explicitly coerced "r" to be an integer (rounded to nearest
# integer rather than chopped)  in computation of optimal NDCG

# 10 Oct 11; NIST added -w flag and cleaned up complaints resulting from that.
# This largely entailed explicitly initializing variables; also eliminated
# variables that were assigned but not subsequently used.  Explicitly checked
# that current doc is in qrels before accessing its category and rel value.
# This likely makes subsequent check redundant, but I left it in.
#
# 27 Aug 10; NIST modified output to be more like trec_eval's; added estimated
# number relevant retrieved, estimated number relevant, number retrieved.
#
# 24 Aug 10: NIST replaced constant "1000" (max result size for TREC) 
# with a variable $maxResultSize to accommodate TRECVID's max size 
# of 2000,etc.
#
# 07 Aug 10 Original code by Emine Yilmaz modifed to output inferred 11pt 
# interpolated precision/recall values
