Feature selection using a multi-strategy improved parrot optimization algorithm in software defect prediction by Qi Fei, Guisheng Yin, Zhian Sun

“…Finally, to further enhance the classification performance of defect prediction, a heterogeneous data stacking ensemble learning algorithm (HEDSE) based on feature selection is proposed. Experimental evaluations on 16 open-source software defect datasets indicate that the proposed HEDSE outperforms existing methods, providing a novel and effective solution for software defect prediction. …”
