Abstrakt: To give some clues for the proper use of statistics, a framework is developed in this paper to help one understand the methodology of applying statistics in IR experiments. The central idea of this framework is that one should 1) distinguish between two kinds of models: an expert model and a mathematical-statistical model, and 2) recognize that these two models are highly interpendent. To make the numerous relationships in this framework more comprehensible, a graphical method called Isac is used. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
