    • The term count in the given document is simply the number of times a given term appears in that document. This count is usually normalized to prevent a bias towards longer documents (which may have a higher term count regardless of the actual importance of that term in the document) to give a measure of the importance of the term [math]\displaystyle{ t_{i} }[/math] within the particular document [math]\displaystyle{ d_{j} }[/math]. Thus we have the term frequency, defined as follows.

      [math]\displaystyle{ \mathrm{tf_{i,j}} = \frac{n_{i,j}}{\sum_k n_{k,j}} }[/math] where [math]\displaystyle{ n_{i,j} }[/math]

      is the number of occurrences of the considered term ([math]\displaystyle{ t_{i} }[/math]) in document [math]\displaystyle{ d_{j} }[/math], and the denominator is the sum of number of occurrences of all terms in document [math]\displaystyle{ d_{j} }[/math].
