Another classic retrieval method is the probabilistic retrieval [29], where the probability that a specific document will be judged relevant to a specific query, is based on the assumption that the terms are distributed differently in relevant and non relevant documents. The probability formula is usually derived from Bayes' theorem [11]. 

Expansion of the Probabilistic retrieval model are to incorporate relationships of the document descriptors [30,31].
