Software defect prediction is one of the emerging research areas of software engineering. The prediction of defects at early stage of development process can produce high quality software at lower cost. This research contributes by presenting a feature selection based ensemble classification framework which consists of four stages: 1) Dataset selection, 2) Feature Selection, 3) Classification, and 4) Results. The proposed framework is implemented from two dimensions, one with feature selection and second without feature selection. The performance is evaluated through various measures including: Precision, Recall, F-measure, Accuracy, MCC and ROC. 12 Cleaned publically available NASA datasets are used for experiments. The results of both the dimensions of proposed framework are compared with the other widely used classification techniques such as: "Naïve Bayes (NB), Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP). Radial Basis Function (RBF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), K Nearest Neighbor (KNN), kStar (K*), One Rule (OneR), PART, Decision Tree (DT), and Random Forest (RF)". Results reflect that the proposed framework outperformed other classification techniques in some of the used datasets however class imbalance issue could not be fully resolved.
The developing countries are still starving for the betterment of health sector. The disease commonly found among the women is breast cancer, and past researches have proven results that if the cancer is detected at a very early stage, the chances to overcome the disease are higher than the disease treated or detected at a later stage. This article proposed cloud-based intelligent BCP-T1F-SVM with 2 variations/models like BCP-T1F and BCP-SVM. The proposed BCP-T1F-SVM system has employed two main soft computing algorithms. The proposed BCP-T1F-SVM expert system specifically defines the stage and the type of cancer a person is suffering from. Expert system will elaborate the grievous stages of the cancer, to which extent a patient has suffered. The proposed BCP-SVM gives the higher precision of the proposed breast cancer detection model. In the limelight of breast cancer, the proposed BCP-T1F-SVM expert system gives out the higher precision rate. The proposed BCP-T1F expert system is being employed in the diagnosis of breast cancer at an initial stage. Taking different stages of cancer into account, breast cancer is being dealt by BCP-T1F expert system. The calculations and the evaluation done in this research have revealed that BCP-SVM is better than BCP-T1F. The BCP-T1F concludes out the 96.56 percentage accuracy, whereas the BCP-SVM gives accuracy of 97.06 percentage. The above unleashed research is wrapped up with the conclusion that BCP-SVM is better than the BCP-T1F. The opinions have been recommended by the medical expertise of Sheikh Zayed Hospital Lahore, Pakistan, and Cavan General Hospital, Lisdaran, Cavan, Ireland.
In real time scenarios, the single image encryption schemes are not that efficient when a bunch of color images is to be encrypted. This problem should be addressed due to computational cost incurred by multiple executions of single color-image encryption scheme. The objective of this research work is to provide a new and efficient multiple color images cipher scheme. This cipher is based on chaotic system, circular shift operations and SHA-384 hash codes. First of all, an arbitrary number of RGB images are input. They are combined in a rectangular fashion to get their hash code. Then this big color-image is decomposed into its three basic components, i.e., red, green and blue. To scramble the pixels of these components, they are shifted circularly both the row-wise and column-wise. Further, XOR operation has been performed to realize the effects of diffusion in these components. Lastly, these components are joined together to get the final RGB cipher image. Apart from the 384-hash codes, a salt key of 384-bit has also been used in the proposed cipher to heighten the security effects. The SHA-384 hash codes render the required key space and plaintext sensitivity. The simulation results and the performance analyses carried out at the end clearly prove the efficiency, effectiveness, robustness and the real-world applicability of the proposed multiple RGB images cipher. Besides, the encryption throughput 7.716 Mb/s of the proposed scheme outperforms many of the existing ones.
Testing is considered as one of the expensive activities in software development process. Fixing the defects during testing process can increase the cost as well as the completion time of the project. Cost of testing process can be reduced by identifying the defective modules during the development (before testing) stage. This process is known as "Software Defect Prediction", which has been widely focused by many researchers in the last two decades. This research proposes a classification framework for the prediction of defective modules using variant based ensemble learning and feature selection techniques. Variant selection activity identifies the best optimized versions of classification techniques so that their ensemble can achieve high performance whereas feature selection is performed to get rid of such features which do not participate in classification and become the cause of lower performance. The proposed framework is implemented on four cleaned NASA datasets from MDP repository and evaluated by using three performance measures, including: F-measure, Accuracy, and MCC. According to results, the proposed framework outperformed 10 widely used supervised classification techniques, including:
