How this cluster was grouped
-
Link evidence (
partly structural links): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text. - Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
-
Pairwise link density
0.23: the share of item pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36.1.00means every pair is linked.
