A Novel Ensemble Learning for Defect Detection Method With Uncertain Data

Abstract

Data which contains noise is termed as uncertain data, and the presence of noise makes a deviation in the correct, intended, or original values. Size and complexity of the software products are the two main reasons for uncertain data set that identifying defective modules in uncertain datasets has become a challenging issue. In this chapter, the authors implemented a multi-learner ensemble model for uncertain datasets for defect detection. In this model, different weak classifiers are optimized to improve the classification rate on uncertain data. They have implemented their proposed model on NASA(PROMISE) metric data program repository. Accuracy is used as performance evaluation metric for our multi-learner ensemble defect detection model and ensemble model outcome achieved higher accuracy rate of 97% and when compared to another classification model.
