  2. Best, worst and average case - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Best,_worst_and_average_case

    Insertion sort applied to a list of n elements, assumed to be all different and initially in random order. On average, half the elements in a list A 1... A j are less than element A j+1, and half are greater. Therefore, the algorithm compares the (j + 1) th element to be inserted on the average with half the already sorted sub-list, so t j = j ...

  3. Sorting algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm

    When the cards are sorted by rank with a stable sort, the two 5s must remain in the same order in the sorted output that they were originally in. When they are sorted with a non-stable sort, the 5s may end up in the opposite order in the sorted output. Stable sort algorithms sort equal elements in the same order that they appear in the input.

  4. Ranking SVM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranking_SVM

    The ranking SVM algorithm is a learning retrieval function that employs pairwise ranking methods to adaptively sort results based on how 'relevant' they are for a specific query. The ranking SVM function uses a mapping function to describe the match between a search query and the features of each of the possible results.

  5. Ranking (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranking_(statistics)

    In statistics, ranking is the data transformation in which numerical or ordinal values are replaced by their rank when the data are sorted.. For example, if the numerical data 3.4, 5.1, 2.6, 7.3 are observed, the ranks of these data items would be 2, 3, 1 and 4 respectively.

  6. Comparison sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_sort

    Sorting a set of unlabelled weights by weight using only a balance scale requires a comparison sort algorithm. A comparison sort is a type of sorting algorithm that only reads the list elements through a single abstract comparison operation (often a "less than or equal to" operator or a three-way comparison) that determines which of two elements should occur first in the final sorted list.

  7. Evaluation measures (information retrieval) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaluation_measures...

    The nDCG values for all queries can be averaged to obtain a measure of the average performance of a ranking algorithm. Note that in a perfect ranking algorithm, the will be the same as the producing an nDCG of 1.0. All nDCG calculations are then relative values on the interval 0.0 to 1.0 and so are cross-query comparable.

  8. Ranking (information retrieval) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranking_(information...

    Ranking of query is one of the fundamental problems in information retrieval (IR), [1] the scientific/engineering discipline behind search engines. [2] Given a query q and a collection D of documents that match the query, the problem is to rank, that is, sort, the documents in D according to some criterion so that the "best" results appear early in the result list displayed to the user.
