How are documents that are skipped or coded neutral in the validation queue treated when calculating the Elusion Rate?

When calculating the Elusion Rate, documents that are skipped or coded neutral in the validation queue are treated as relevant documents. This is because the Elusion Rate is a measure of how effectively the system identifies relevant documents during the review process.

By classifying skipped or neutral-coded documents as relevant, the calculation acknowledges that there is still uncertainty about their relevance, which could potentially lead to their identification as relevant by other reviewers or through further analysis. This approach underscores the importance of these documents in the overall assessment of the review process, as they represent cases where the determination of relevance may not be definitive but still warrants consideration in the rate calculations.

The other options do not capture this nuanced approach to handling the documents in question, hence they do not accurately reflect how these documents influence the calculation of the Elusion Rate.
