An Artificial Neural Network Genetic Algorithm with Shuffled Frog Leap Algorithm for Software Defect Prediction

Defect prediction performances are significant to attain quality of the software and to understand previous errors. In this work, for assessing the classification accuracy, precision, and recall and F measure for various classifiers are used. The artificial neural network optimizations make the assumption that more than two algorithms for one optimization have been implemented. The optimization makes use of a heuristic for choosing the best of the algorithms for being applied in a particular situation. An approach of hybrid optimization for designing of the linkages method and is used for the dimensional synthesis of the mechanism. The ANN models are assisted in their convergence towards a global minimum by the multi-directional search algorithm that is incorporated in the GA. The results have shown an accuracy of classification of the NN-hybrid shuffled from algorithm to perform better by about 5.94% than that of the fuzzy classifiers and by about 3.59% of the NN-Lm training and by about 1.42% of the NN-shuffled frog algorithm..
