Replications, Revisions, and Reanalyses: Managing Empirical Evidence in Software Engineering

Julian Frattini, Jannik Fischbach, Davide Fucci +4

One aspired outcome of empirical research on quantitative data is a variance theory, i.e., a quantification of the effect of an independent on a dependent variables. The validity o…
