LONG-RANGE CORRELATIONS IN COMPUTER PROGRAMS
Peter Kokol · Cybernetics & Systems · 1997
A different view of software complexity based on long-range correlations is presented in this paper. Three different methods are proposed first and then used in the analysis of C , FORTRAN, and Pascal programs. All methods being used indicate the presence of long-range correlations in programs, but every method gives different results. The presence of longrange correlations denotes that we can regard the complexity of computer programs from a different perspective and use it as an advanced software metric.
