Abstract

Given recent increases in how much data we can collect, and given a shortage in skilled analysts that can assess that data, there now exists more data than people to study it. Consequently, the analysis of real-world data is an exploding field, to say this least. About software projects, a lot of information is recorded in software repositories. Never before have we had so much information about the details on how people collaborate to build software.
