Public Methods
virtual	~DistMergeMethod ()
virtual void	mergeScoreSet (IndexedRealVector &indexset,DocScoreVector **scoreset,DocScoreVector &results)
	merge a set of scores that were obtained from retrieval on the individual databases in the indexset. return the merged results into a DocScoreVector. The scores in scoreset should correlate with the indexes in indexset.
Protected Methods
virtual double	score (double dbscore,double docscore)=0
	create a score for the merge based on the index ranking score and the document score.
