program to tabulate work frequencies for blocks of phrases of optional
si,zes. On the basis of these distributions, empirical and
statistic~l analyses are made including two prediction models.
Two-word distributions are also included. Based upon the available
distributions, a two-word Phrase G1ossar.y size of 320,000 twoword
phrases was determined. Also included are analyses of
various techniques, such as suf,£ix truncation, imbedded phrases,
and query effeotiveness. Comparisons are made of the DDC system
to other plain lang~age machine retrieval systems. [AD-780 957/7GA
