An Intelligent Fusion Algorithm and Its Application Based on Subgroup Migration and Adaptive Boosting

Abstract

Imbalanced data and feature redundancies are common problems in many fields, especially in software defect prediction, data mining, machine learning, and industrial big data application. To resolve these problems, we propose an intelligent fusion algorithm, SMPSO-HS-AdaBoost, which combines particle swarm optimization based on subgroup migration and adaptive boosting based on hybrid-sampling. In this paper, we apply the proposed intelligent fusion algorithm to software defect prediction to improve the prediction efficiency and accuracy by solving the issues caused by imbalanced data and feature redundancies. The results show that the proposed algorithm resolves the coexisting problems of imbalanced data and feature redundancies, and ensures the efficiency and accuracy of software defect prediction.
