ICS2002-12-02: Most active file measurement in Hackystat - H. Kou, X. Xu

Hackystat, an automated metric collection and analysis tool, adopts the"Most Active File" measurement in five-minute time chunks to represent the developers' effort. This measurement is validated internally in this report. The results show that big time chunk sizes are highly linear regressive with the standard time chunk size (1 minute). The percentage of missed effort to total effort is very low with five minutes chunk size. And the relative ranking with respect to the effort of the active files is onlyslightly changed.
