Revisiting ‘revisiting supervised methods for effort‐aware cross‐project defect prediction’ by Fuyang Li, Peixin Yang, Jacky Wai Keung, Wenhua Hu, Haoyu Luo, Xiao Yu

“…The results show that (1) The classification before sorting (CBS+) defect density calculation strategy achieves the best overall performance. (2) Using balanced distribution adaption (BDA) and joint distribution adaptation (JDA) with the K‐nearest neighbour classifier to build the EACPDP model can find 15% and 14.3% more defective modules and 11.6% and 8.9% more defects while achieving the acceptable initial false alarms (IFA). (3) Better comprehensive classification performance of the methods can bring better EACPDP performance to some extent. (4) A flexible adjustment of the defect threshold λ of the CBS+ strategy contribute to different goals. …”
