Re-examining the fault density – component size connection
September 2009. I no longer believe in the U-bend described in this paper. I used data available at the time but meanwhile 10 years later, I have a lot more higher quality data and a different and more...

The dataset used in an analysis of component sizes in numerous real systems in C, Fortran and Tcl. The data show that the component sizes overwhelmingly exhibit a Pareto power-law distribution...

Provides an information theoretic model which unifies the frequently observed power-law behaviour of component size and the logarithmic growth of defect density. It appears as though linear increase of...
