Refactoring is the process of changing the internal structure of software to improve its quality
without modifying its external behavior. Empirical studies have repeatedly shown that …

Predictive models are one of the most important techniques that are widely applied in many
areas of software engineering. There have been a large number of primary studies that …

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most prevalent endocrinological abnormality and
one of the primary causes of anovulatory infertility in women globally. The detection of …

Software defect prediction aims to identify the potential defects of new software modules in
advance by constructing an effective prediction model. However, the model performance is …

Software Defect Prediction (SDP) models are built using software metrics derived from
software systems. The quality of SDP models depends largely on the quality of software …

An accurate determination of the product quality is one of the key challenges in lithium-ion
battery (LIB) production. Since LIBs are complex, electrochemical systems, conventional …

The performance of software defect prediction (SDP) models depend on the quality of
considered software features. Redundant features and irrelevant features may reduce the …

As Internet of Things (IoT) networks expand globally with an annual increase of active
devices, providing better safeguards to threats is becoming more prominent. An intrusion …

Abstract Effort‐Aware Defect Prediction (EADP) methods sort software modules based on
the defect density and guide the testing team to inspect the modules with high defect density …

Software defect prediction recommends the most defect-prone software modules for
optimization of the test resource allocation. The limitation of the extensively-studied …
