Edit Quality defines how close one edit made by an actor takes the page to subsequent version of a page.
Objective
This measures describes the quality of a single contribution made by an actor. Is is an activity of an author regarding her/his content contribution. B. Adler, L. de Alfaro, I. Pye and V. Raman "associate a higher edit quality to revision ri if the edits made take the page closer to subsequent versions of the page."[1]. This measure is used for the calculation of the Average Edit Quality and the Edit Longevity.
Calculation
B. Adler, L. de Alfaro, I. Pye and V. Raman define the measure as follows[1]: αedit(vi,vj) as quality of edits performed in revision ri of a page (with respect to vj)
-
set of all articles
-
set of authors of a page
- n > 0 revisions
of a page p (version v0 is empty; version v1, for
is obtained by an author performing a revision
)
- ai is the author of revision ri
-
set of revision of a page
-
map given an author
and a page
returns revisions created by author a for page <maht>p</math>
-
having
(filter versions, keeping only last of consecutive versions by same author)
- every version vi for
consists of a sequence
of words, where mi is the number of words in vi (version v0 consists of an empty sequence)
- txt(vi,vj) for
amount of text (measured in number of words) introduced by ri in vi still present in vj
- txt(vi,vi) amount of text added by ai
- txt(ri) = txt(vi,vi) is the text contribution of ri
- d(vi,vj) for
edit distance between vi and vj measures how much changed from vi to vj
- d(ri) = d(vi − 1,vi) is the edit contribution made in ri
