This repository contains the necessary data for replicating the necessary information to replicate the study of "Exploring the Notion of Risk in Reviewer Recommendation." This code extends the RelationalGit package (https://github.com/CESEL/RelationalGit) from the study of E. Mirsaeedi and P. C. Rigby  [1] and adds some functionality that is needed to incorporate the concept of the fix-inducing likelihood of a project.

In addition to our dataset, this repository also have the supporting materials for our study. The supporting materials are in the "ICSME_online_materials_ICSME.pdf" and contains the following items:

• Table 1 contains the detail of the dataset and some related statistics for each of the studied projects. 
• Table 2 have risk measures that were used in our defect prediction model. We use Commit Guru Tool to extracts the data from the GitHub repositories and then use this data to train our defect prediction model.
• Figure 1 illustrates the distribution of predicted defect probability of different projects. This distribution shows how defect probability of different periods are similar to the adjacent periods.
