American Documentation, 1969, vol. 20, issue 3, 198-202

Abstract: Work concerned with the statistical evaluation of the output of the MEDICO automatic indexing method is described. The statistical tests were designed primarily to examine the validity of the assumptions which formed the bases of the algorithms developed for the automatic computation of weights and for the automatic generation of links between index terms and modifiers. This evaluation also includes a comparison of the output generated from full text and from the processing of the abstracts or summaries of the same articles.
