spelling Clustering records in information retrieval systems. (c1995)Al-Saffar, MaisaaManagement information systemsInformation storage and retrieval systemsIncludes bibliographical references.This project is a study of the space density of a file and how it affects retrieval time. The number of blocks that are retrieved when a query is made to the document is used as a measure of response time. The space density is an indication of how close related records are placed. The hannning distance of a file is used as a measure of space density. A sequencing algorithm based on threshold values that reorders records in a file so as to increase average record similarity is used to obtain varying space densities. Simulation experiments conducted proved that a great reduction in response time is yielded after the restructuring of a file with a reasonable amount of work required in sequencing. Other terms such as block size and terms in a query which affect response time are studied. Results from the experiments are shown graphically. Statistical methods are used to confirm the experimental results.1 bound copy: 66 leaves; ill., tables available at RNL.Lebanese American University2011-01-14T07:20:25Z2011-01-14T07:20:25Z19952011-01-141995-03Thesisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesishttp://hdl.handle.net/10725/228https://doi.org/10.26756/th.1995.9eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:laur.lau.edu.lb:10725/2282021-03-19T09:58:57Z
