Supplementary Material and Replication Package for Paper "Bounties on Technical Q&A Sites: A Case Study of Stack Overflow Bounties"

We provide the studied data (i.e., bounty and non-bounty questions and their corresponding studied factors) below. We also provide the scripts to build the models that were used in this study. Note that the data is stored as R objects and can be imported directly by using the provided scripts.

  • Data:

    • data_solvingLikelihood data (R object) for studying the solving-likelihood of bounty questions (i.e., Section 5).
    • data_solvingLikelihood_nonBounty data (R object) for studying the solving-likelihood of the sampled non-bounty questions (i.e., Section 5.3).
    • data_solvingTime data (R object) for studying the solving-time of bounty questions (i.e., Section 6).
  • Models:

    • SolvingLikelihoodModel.R script for building the model to understand the association between the studied factors and the solving-likelihood of bounty questions (i.e., Section 5)
    • SolvingLikelihoodNonBountyModel.R script for building models to understand the important factors for the solving-likelihood of non-bounty and bounty questions(i.e., Section 5.3).
    • SolvingSpeedModel.R script for building the model to understand the association between the studied factors and the solving-time of bounty questions (i.e., Section 6)
