This section shows the results of the experiments described in section 3 on the data sets described in section 4. In the following diagrams, the blue line states the average sentiment of the answers to questions from new contributors. This line also has numbers attached to it at every datapoint and shows the number of answers that formed the sentiment average. The orange line shows ITS analysis as a 3-segment line.
