A IDF Score is non-negative real numeric score from an IDF function.
- Context:
- It can range from being a [math]\displaystyle{ 0 }[/math] (when every multiset contains the member) to [math]\displaystyle{ \log(\mid C \mid) }[/math] (when only one multiset contains the member).
- It can be a member of an IDF Vector (or an IDF matrix).
- Example(s):
- [math]\displaystyle{ 0 }[/math], when every multiset contains the member.
- [math]\displaystyle{ 2.301... }[/math], for [math]\displaystyle{ \operatorname{idf}(``\text{quaint}'', \text{Newsgroups 20 corpus}) }[/math], i.e. [math]\displaystyle{ \log(200) \equiv \log(\frac{8,000}{40}) }[/math], if the word quaint is contained in 40 documents from a corpus with 8,000 documents.
- [math]\displaystyle{ \log(\mid C \mid) }[/math], when only one multiset contains the member.
