Feature selection (FS) is a feasible solution for mitigating high dimensionality problem, and many FS methods have been proposed in the context of software defect prediction (SDP) …
The selection of software metrics for building software quality prediction models is a search‐ based software engineering problem. An exhaustive search for such metrics is usually not …
A software practitioner is interested in the solution to “for a given project, what is the minimum number of software metrics that should be considered for building an effective …
Automated software defect prediction is an important and fundamental activity in the domain of software development. However, modern software systems are inherently large and …

The performance of software defect prediction (SDP) models depend on the quality of considered software features. Redundant features and irrelevant features may reduce the …
The interpretation of defect models heavily relies on software metrics that are used to construct them. Prior work often uses feature selection techniques to remove metrics that are …
Software defect prediction has been an important research topic in the software engineering field, especially to solve the inefficiency and ineffectiveness of existing industrial approach of …
Two important problems which can affect the performance of classification models are high- dimensionality (an overabundance of independent features in the dataset) and imbalanced …
