Software defect prediction with zero-inflated Poisson models

Software Engineering 2019-10-31 v1 Machine Learning

Abstract

In this work we apply several Poisson and zero-inflated models for software defect prediction. We apply different functions from several R packages such as pscl, MASS, R2Jags and the recent glmmTMB. We test the functions using the Equinox dataset. The results show that Zero-inflated models, fitted with either maximum likelihood estimation or with Bayesian approach, are slightly better than other models, using the AIC as selection criterion.
