7.1 Algorithm
The detection algorithm is based on line string matching, and it depends on three parameters:
- Minimum clone length - defines the minimum amount of lines present in a clone. In our experiments we used 7.
- Maximum line bias - defines the maximum amount of lines in between two exact chunks. In our experiments we used 2.
- Minimum chunk size - defiĀnes the minimum amount of lines of an exact chunk. In our experiments we used 3.
