The article explores how excluding special methods like constructors and access methods can improve a popular class cohesion metric called Lack of Cohesion (LCOM) in object-oriented programming. By analyzing classes in Java applications, the researchers found that LCOM's ability to indicate class quality gets slightly better when special methods are not included in the calculation.
