## Line Chart: Number of Fixed Packages vs. Year of Unreproducibility Introduction ### Overview The image is a line chart showing the number of fixed packages over time (from 2018 to 2023) for different categories of packages, grouped by the year in which unreproducibility was introduced. Each line represents a different year of unreproducibility introduction, and the y-axis represents the number of fixed packages. ### Components/Axes * **Title (Y-Axis):** "Number of fixed packages" * **Scale (Y-Axis):** 0, 200, 400, 2800, 2900, 3000 * **Title (X-Axis):** The x-axis is implicitly "Year". * **Scale (X-Axis):** 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 * **Legend:** Located at the bottom of the chart, labeled "Unreproducibility introduced in:". The legend lists the years of unreproducibility introduction, each associated with a specific color. * 1416607 (Brown) * 1498441 (Light Pink) * 1569427 (Yellow) * 1653283 (Light Purple) * 1755200 (Dark Gray) * 1448353 (Green) * 1520586 (Magenta) * 1593430 (Orange) * 1687868 (Dark Red) * 1776404 (Cyan) * 1476353 (Blue) * 1544614 (Light Blue) * 1622813 (Dark Green) * 1724521 (Dark Purple) * 1787891 (Olive) ### Detailed Analysis * **Brown Line (1416607):** Starts at approximately 10 in 2018, increases to approximately 30 in 2023. * **Light Pink Line (1498441):** Starts at approximately 0 in 2018, increases to approximately 40 in 2023. * **Yellow Line (1569427):** Starts at approximately 0 in 2018, increases to approximately 50 in 2023. * **Light Purple Line (1653283):** Starts at approximately 0 in 2018, increases to approximately 60 in 2023. * **Dark Gray Line (1755200):** Starts at approximately 0 in 2018, increases to approximately 70 in 2023. * **Green Line (1448353):** Starts at approximately 10 in 2018, increases sharply to approximately 150 in 2019, and then increases gradually to approximately 210 in 2023. * **Magenta Line (1520586):** Starts at approximately 0 in 2018, increases to approximately 80 in 2023. * **Orange Line (1593430):** Starts at approximately 0 in 2018, increases sharply to approximately 2700 in 2021, and then increases gradually to approximately 2900 in 2023. * **Dark Red Line (1687868):** Starts at approximately 0 in 2018, increases to approximately 40 in 2023. * **Cyan Line (1776404):** Starts at approximately 0 in 2018, increases sharply to approximately 2700 in 2020, and then remains relatively constant at approximately 2700 in 2023. * **Blue Line (1476353):** Starts at approximately 0 in 2018, increases to approximately 140 in 2019, and then increases gradually to approximately 150 in 2023. * **Light Blue Line (1544614):** Starts at approximately 0 in 2018, increases sharply to approximately 400 in 2020, and then remains relatively constant at approximately 400 in 2023. * **Dark Green Line (1622813):** Starts at approximately 0 in 2018, increases to approximately 220 in 2023. * **Dark Purple Line (1724521):** Starts at approximately 0 in 2018, increases to approximately 80 in 2023. * **Olive Line (1787891):** Starts at approximately 0 in 2018, increases to approximately 40 in 2023. ### Key Observations * The orange line (1593430) shows the most significant increase in the number of fixed packages, followed by the cyan line (1776404). * Most lines show a gradual increase in the number of fixed packages over time. * The cyan line (1776404) and orange line (1593430) show a sharp increase in the number of fixed packages around 2020 and 2021, respectively, and then plateau. * The other lines show a much smaller increase in the number of fixed packages. ### Interpretation The chart illustrates the progress in fixing packages that were initially introduced with unreproducibility in different years. The orange line (1593430) and cyan line (1776404) indicate that packages with unreproducibility introduced in those years have seen the most significant fixing efforts. The plateauing of these lines suggests that the majority of fixable packages from those years have already been addressed. The other lines, with their gradual increases, indicate ongoing efforts to fix packages with unreproducibility introduced in those years, but at a slower pace. The data suggests that the focus of fixing efforts may have shifted over time, or that some types of unreproducibility are more easily addressed than others.

## Line Chart: Number of Fixed Packages Over Time ### Overview This line chart displays the number of packages fixed over time (2018-2023) due to unreproducibility issues introduced by specific commits. Each line represents a different commit ID, and the y-axis shows the number of packages fixed.

The large increase in fixed packages around 2020 suggests that these commits introduced significant reproducibility issues that required substantial effort to resolve. The subsequent decline in fixed packages indicates that the issues were largely addressed over time. The commits with consistently low numbers of fixed packages may represent changes that had minimal impact on reproducibility or were already well-managed. The data suggests a concentrated effort to address reproducibility problems in the 2020 timeframe, followed by a period of stabilization. The varying magnitudes of the spikes indicate that some commits were more problematic than others. The fact that most lines converge towards zero by 2023 suggests that the initial wave of reproducibility issues has been largely resolved, but ongoing maintenance is still required (as evidenced by the small, non-zero values for some commits).

## Line Chart: Number of Fixed Packages Over Time by Unreproducibility Introduction Event ### Overview This is a line chart tracking the cumulative "Number of fixed packages" over time, from early 2018 to late 2023. The chart displays multiple data series, each representing a distinct "Unreproducibility introduced in:" event, identified by a unique numeric code. The data shows how many packages were fixed following the introduction of each specific unreproducibility issue. ### Components/Axes * **Y-Axis (Vertical):** Labeled "Number of fixed packages". The scale is non-linear, with major gridlines at 0, 200, 400, 2000, 2800, 2900, and 3000. This indicates a significant jump in scale between 400 and 2000. * **X-Axis (Horizontal):** Represents time, with major year markers for 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. Data points appear to be plotted at quarterly or semi-annual intervals. * **Legend:** Located at the bottom center of the chart. It is titled "Unreproducibility introduced in:" and contains 15 entries, each pairing a colored line with a numeric identifier. The legend is organized in three columns. ### Detailed Analysis **Legend Entries (Color to ID Mapping):** 1. **Red:** 1416607 2. **Light Pink:** 1498441 3. **Yellow:** 1569427 4. **Light Purple:** 1653283 5. **Dark Grey:** 1755200 6. **Bright Green:** 1448353 7. **Magenta:** 1520586 8. **Orange:** 1593430 9. **Dark Red/Brown:** 1687868 10. **Cyan:** 1776404 11. **Blue:** 1476353 12. **Light Blue/Cyan:** 1544614 13. **Dark Green:** 1622813 14. **Purple:** 1724521 15. **Olive/Brown:** 1787891 **Data Series Trends & Approximate Values:** * **1593430 (Orange):** This is the most prominent series. It shows a dramatic, near-vertical increase starting in late 2020, rising from near 0 to approximately 2880 by early 2021. It then continues a steady, shallow upward trend, reaching approximately 2970 by late 2023. * **1544614 (Light Blue/Cyan):** Shows a very sharp increase in early 2020, jumping from near 0 to approximately 450. It then plateaus, showing only a very slight increase to around 470 by 2023. * **1448353 (Bright Green):** Begins rising in mid-2018, reaching about 160 by 2019. It continues a steady, shallow upward trend, ending at approximately 210 in 2023. * **1476353 (Blue):** Starts rising in late 2018, reaching about 100 by 2019. It follows a very flat, stable trend, ending near 130 in 2023. * **1520586 (Magenta):** Begins its ascent in late 2019, rising to about 70 by 2020. It shows a slow, steady increase, reaching approximately 100 by 2023. * **1416607 (Red):** One of the earliest series, starting in early 2018. It rises to about 40 by 2019 and then plateaus, remaining between 40-60 for the rest of the period. * **1653283 (Light Purple):** Starts rising in late 2020, reaching about 60 by 2021. It shows a slow increase, ending near 80 in 2023. * **1569427 (Yellow):** Begins in early 2020, rising to about 50 by 2021. It remains relatively flat, ending near 60 in 2023. * **1687868 (Dark Red/Brown):** Starts in early 2021, rising to about 40 by 2022. It shows a slight increase, ending near 50 in 2023. * **1724521 (Purple):** Begins in early 2022, rising to about 40 by 2023. * **1622813 (Dark Green):** Starts in early 2021, rising to about 30 by 2022, and ending near 40 in 2023. * **1776404 (Cyan):** Begins in late 2022, rising sharply to about 90 by late 2023. * **1787891 (Olive/Brown):** Begins in mid-2023, rising sharply to about 80 by late 2023. * **1498441 (Light Pink):** Shows a very shallow rise starting in 2019, remaining below 30 throughout. * **1755200 (Dark Grey):** Begins in early 2022, showing a very shallow rise, remaining below 20. ### Key Observations 1. **Dominant Series:** The orange line (1593430) is a massive outlier, accounting for the vast majority of fixed packages (nearly 3000) and exhibiting a unique, explosive growth pattern in late 2020/early 2021. 2. **Two Distinct Growth Patterns:** Series generally fall into two categories: a) those with a single, sharp increase followed by a long plateau (e.g., 1544614, 1593430), and b) those with a more gradual, sustained increase over years (e.g., 1448353, 1476353). 3. **Temporal Clustering:** Several series (1593430, 1544614, 1653283, 1569427) show their primary growth phase around 2020-2021, suggesting a period of significant activity in fixing packages related to unreproducibility issues introduced around that time. 4. **Late Emergers:** A few series (1776404, 1787891) begin very late in the timeline (2022-2023) and show steep initial slopes, indicating recent, active fixing efforts for newer issues. ### Interpretation This chart visualizes the remediation history of software package unreproducibility. Each line represents the cumulative number of packages fixed due to a specific, identified root cause (the "Unreproducibility introduced in:" ID). The data suggests that unreproducibility issues are not discovered or fixed at a constant rate. Instead, there are periods of intense activity. The monumental spike for issue `1593430` indicates a single, widespread problem that, once addressed, led to a massive wave of package fixes. The sharp plateaus for other series (like `1544614`) suggest that after an initial focused effort to fix packages affected by a particular issue, few additional packages required fixes for that same cause. The more gradually rising lines (e.g., `1448353`) may represent ongoing, background maintenance or issues that are discovered and fixed incrementally over a long period. The emergence of new, steeply rising lines in 2022-2023 shows that the process of identifying and fixing unreproducibility is ongoing, with new issues being actively addressed. The non-linear Y-axis is crucial, as it allows the visualization of both the massive scale of the `1593430` fix and the more modest, but still important, trends of the other issues on the same chart.

## Line Chart: Unreproducibility Introduced in Various IDs Over Time ### Overview The chart visualizes the number of fixed packages (y-axis) introduced in 12 distinct software IDs (x-axis) from 2018 to 2023. Each ID is represented by a unique colored line, with values plotted annually. The y-axis ranges from 0 to 3,000, while the x-axis spans 2018–2023. The legend at the bottom maps colors to IDs, and the title explicitly states the focus on "Unreproducibility introduced in:". --- ### Components/Axes - **X-Axis (Years)**: 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 (discrete intervals). - **Y-Axis (Number of Fixed Packages)**: Linear scale from 0 to 3,000. - **Legend**: 12 entries, each with a color and ID (e.g., red = 1416607, orange = 1593430). Positioned at the bottom-center. - **Lines**: 12 colored lines, each corresponding to an ID. Lines are plotted with markers at yearly intervals. --- ### Detailed Analysis #### Key Trends: 1. **ID 1593430 (Orange Line)**: - **Trend**: Sharp increase from 0 in 2018 to 2,900 in 2021, then gradual rise to 3,000 by 2023. - **Notable**: Largest absolute increase (3,000 packages) and most volatile trend. 2. **ID 1544614 (Cyan Line)**: - **Trend**: Steady rise from 450 in 2020 to 750 in 2023. - **Notable**: Consistent upward trajectory without plateaus. 3. **ID 1448353 (Green Line)**: - **Trend**: Gradual increase from 150 in 2019 to 210 in 2023. - **Notable**: Slow but steady growth. 4. **ID 1476353 (Blue Line)**: - **Trend**: Increase from 100 in 2019 to 150 in 2023. - **Notable**: Moderate growth with minor fluctuations. 5. **ID 1724521 (Purple Line)**: - **Trend**: Rise from 50 in 2020 to 120 in 2023. - **Notable**: Accelerated growth post-2021. 6. **ID 1622813 (Dark Green Line)**: - **Trend**: Increase from 180 in 2021 to 220 in 2023. - **Notable**: Steady but modest growth. 7. **ID 1416607 (Red Line)**: - **Trend**: Increase from 20 in 2018 to 100 in 2023. - **Notable**: Slow but consistent growth. 8. **ID 1520586 (Pink Line)**: - **Trend**: Rise from 50 in 2020 to 120 in 2023. - **Notable**: Similar trajectory to ID 1724521. 9. **ID 1687868 (Brown Line)**: - **Trend**: Increase from 20 in 2022 to 90 in 2023. - **Notable**: Rapid growth in final years. 10. **ID 1755200 (Gray Line)**: - **Trend**: Increase from 10 in 2022 to 80 in 2023. - **Notable**: Sharp rise in final years. 11. **ID 1653283 (Light Blue Line)**: - **Trend**: Increase from 20 in 2022 to 100 in 2023. - **Notable**: Rapid growth in final years. 12. **ID 1787891 (Dark Orange Line)**: - **Trend**: Increase from 50 in 2022 to 120 in 2023. - **Notable**: Accelerated growth post-2022. --- ### Key Observations - **Dominant Trends**: - ID 1593430 (orange) and ID 1544614 (cyan) show the most significant increases, suggesting systemic issues in these IDs. - IDs introduced after 2020 (e.g., 1687868, 1755200) exhibit rapid growth, indicating potential late-stage vulnerabilities. - **Anomalies**: - ID 1593430’s spike in 2021 (2,900 packages) is an outlier compared to other IDs. - IDs with later introduction dates (e.g., 1687868, 1755200) show steeper slopes, possibly reflecting newer codebases with unresolved issues. --- ### Interpretation The chart highlights **systemic unreproducibility** in software development, with certain IDs (e.g., 1593430, 1544614) contributing disproportionately to fixed packages over time. The sharp rise in ID 1593430 in 2021 suggests a critical event (e.g., major refactoring, bug discovery) that required extensive fixes. IDs introduced later (e.g., 1687868, 1755200) show rapid growth, implying that newer codebases may inherit or introduce vulnerabilities more aggressively. The gradual increases in older IDs (e.g., 1416607, 1448353) reflect ongoing maintenance challenges. This data underscores the need for proactive code quality measures and targeted debugging efforts for high-risk IDs.
