5.1 Relative <strong>and</strong> Cumulative frequency distribution showing<br />
positively skewed metrics data for the Spring Framework<br />

5.4 Correlation coefficient distributions across all systems <strong>and</strong><br />
releases. The top graph shows the box-plots for each <strong>of</strong><br />
the 10 metrics under analysis. The bottom graph plots<br />
the distribution for the metrics. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 108<br />

on the relative frequency distributions for Number <strong>of</strong><br />
Branches, In-Degree Count, Number <strong>of</strong> Methods <strong>and</strong> Out-<br />
Degree Count. All metric values during the entire evolution<br />
<strong>of</strong> 5 years fall within the boundaries shown. The y-axis in<br />
all the charts shows the percentage <strong>of</strong> classes (similar to<br />
a histogram). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 112<br />
