Abstract: Abstract-Software Defect Data (SDD) are used to build defect prediction models for software quality assurance. Existing work employs feature selection to eliminate irrelevant features in the data to improve prediction performance. Previous studies have shown that different feature selection methods do not always yield similar prediction performance on SDD, which indicates that these methods are not equivalent. Also, previous studies have shown that SDD usually contains noise that may interfere the process of… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
