Defect prediction is an important topic in software quality research. Statistical models for defect prediction can be built on project repositories. Project repositories store software metrics and defect information. This information is then matched with software modules. Naïve Bayes is a well known, simple statistical technique that assumes the ‘independence’ and ‘equal importance’ of features...
