By Bill DimmThere has been some debate recently about the value of the “eRecall” method compared to the “Direct Recall” method for estimating the recall achieved with technology-assisted review. This article shows why eRecall requires sampling and reviewing just as many documents as the direct method if you want to achieve the same level of certainty in the result.Here is the equation:eRecall = (TotalRelevant – RelevantDocsMissed) / TotalRelevantRearranging a little:eRecall = 1 – RelevantDocsMissed / TotalRelevant = 1 – FractionMissed * TotalDocumentsCulled / TotalRelevantIt requires estimation (via sampling) of two quantities: the total number of relevant documents, and the number of relevant documents that were culled by the TAR tool.

Information Governance (InfoGovernance) is the specification of decision rights and an accountability framework to encourage desirable behavior in the valuation, creation, storage, use, archiving and deletion of information. It includes the processes, roles, standards and metrics that ensure the effective and efficient use of information to enable an organization to achieve its goals. Information governance should be an element in planning an enterprise's information architecture.
