    "    Ratio of preferences fulfilled to preferences possible within a\n\
    judgment group, averaged over jgs, except that the number of\n\
    nonrelevant retrieved docs (rel_level == 0.0) in each jg is set to\n\
    R, the number of relevant retrieved docs (rel_level > 0.0) in that jg.\n\
    \n\
    This addresses the general problem that the number of\n\
    nonrelevant docs judged for a topic can be critical to fair\n\
    evaluation - adding a couple of hundred preferences involving\n\
    nonrelevant docs (out of the possibly millions in a collection) can\n\
    both change the importance of the topic when averaging and even\n\
    change whether system A scores better than system B (even given\n\
    identical retrieval on the added nonrel docs).\n\
    \n\
    This measure conceptually sets the number of nonrelevant retrieved\n\
    docs of a jg to R. If the actual number, N, is less than R, then R\n\
    * (R-N) fulfilled preferences are added.  If N is greater than R,\n\
    then only the first R (rank order) docs in the single ec with\n\
    rel_level = 0.0 are used and the number of preferences are\n\
    recalculated.  \n\
    If there is a single jg with two equivalence classes (one of them 0.0), \n\
    then prefs_avgjg_Rnonrel is akin to the ranked measure bpref.\n\
    For doc pref A>B, A and B must both be retrieved to be counted as either\n\
    fulfilled or possible.\n\
    pref_*_ret measures should be used for dynamic collections but are\n\
    inferior in most other applications.\n\
