This poster session examines a probabilistic approach to distributed information retrieval using a Logistic Regression algorithm for estimation of collection relevance. The algorithm is compared to other methods for distributed search using test collections developed for distributed search evaluation. Categories and Subject Descriptors H.3.3 [Information Search and Retrieval]: Search process; H.3.7 [Digital Libraries]: Systems issues General Terms Algorithms, Performance Keywords Distributed Information Retrieval
