Jon,


I was looking at our tracking results, and perhaps I'm confusing
the values in some of the columns. For topic 39, which contains
61 YES or BRIEF judgements for all sources I get the following:

Tracking Performance Calculations:
    Filename    Topic  Train   Test    Corr    Corr    Miss    F/A    Pct.    Pct.    Ctrack
                       Story   Story   Det.    ! Det.  Story   Story  Miss    F/A           
    --------    -----  -----   ------  ------  ------  ------  ------ ------  ------  ------
    tmp.39.trk  39     4        33661       3   33575      83       0 0.9651  0.0000  0.0193


If I correctly detected 3 stories, how could I miss 83 stories for a
topic with at most 61 stories?

The number of Test Stories appears to be quite large i.e. 33K vs 20K,
Could this be the source of the strange number in the Miss Story column ?

Ron
