In this paper, we provide a framework for investigation and quantification of impact of object-oriented design choices on the defects in software systems. We report the initial results of an extensive case study, which strongly reinforce earlier, mainly anecdotal, evidence that design aspects related to inheritance and communication between classes can be used as indicators of the most defect-p...

the probability density functions fitting to the discrete probability functions has always been needed, and very important. this paper is fitting the continuous curves which are probability density functions to the binomial probability functions, negative binomial geometrics, poisson and hypergeometric. the main key in these fittings is the use of the derivative concept and common differential ...

This paper proposes the application of the two well known models of negative binomial regression, namely the NB-1 and the NB-2, and the functional form of negative binomial regression, namely the NB-P, for the analysis of vehicle theft crime. The advantage of using the NB-P is that it parametrically nests both the NB-1 and the NB-2, and allows statistical tests of the NB-1 and the NB-2 models a...
