Batch Evaluation Metrics in Information Retrieval: Measures, Scales, and Meaning by Alistair Moffat

“…Focusing then on information retrieval, we argue that document rankings are categorical data, and that the role of an effectiveness metric is to provide a single value that summarizes the usefulness to a user or population of users of any given ranking, with usefulness able to be represented as a continuous variable on a ratio scale. That is, we argue that most current IR metrics are well-founded, and, moreover, that those metrics are more meaningful in their current form than in the proposed “intervalized” versions.…”
