Redundancy, correlation, feature irrelevance, and missing samples are just a few problems that make it difficult to analyze software defect data. Additionally, it might be challenging to maintain an even distribution of data relating to both defective and non-defective software. The latter software class's data are predominately present in the dataset in the majority of experimental situations. The objective of this review study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of combining ensemble learning and feature selection in improving the performance of defect classification. Besides the successful feature selection approach, a novel variant of the ensemble learning technique is analyzed to address the challenges of feature redundancy and data imbalance, providing robustness in the classification process. To overcome these problems and lessen their impact on the fault classification performance, authors carefully integrate effective feature selection with ensemble learning models. Forward selection demonstrates that a significant area under the receiver operating curve (ROC) can be attributed to only a small subset of features. The Greedy forward selection (GFS) technique outperformed Pearson's correlation method when evaluating feature selection techniques on the datasets. Ensemble learners, such as random forests (RF) and the proposed average probability ensemble (APE), demonstrate greater resistance to the impact of weak features when compared to weighted support vector machines (W-SVMs) and extreme learning machines (ELM). Furthermore, in the case of the NASA and Java datasets, the enhanced average probability ensemble model, which incorporates the Greedy forward selection technique with the average probability ensemble model, achieved remarkably high accuracy for the area under the ROC. It approached a value of 1.0, indicating exceptional performance. This review emphasizes the importance of meticulously selecting attributes in a software dataset to accurately classify damaged components. In addition, the suggested ensemble learning model successfully addressed the aforementioned problems with software data and produced outstanding classification performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
