Based on the empirical analysis of the dependency network in 18 Java projects, we develop a novel model of network … final network, follow power-law behaviors: P(k<sub>0</sub>) ∝ k<sub>0</sub><sup>1−α</sup>, and P(k) ∝ k<sup>1−γ …</sup>, respectively. For the total number of links as a function of the network size, we find empirically K(N) ∝ N<sup>β</sup>, where β is …
