Abstract

In this paper, we can see that software reliability model has been improved by considering multiple change-points. The condition for the existence of maximum likelihood estimate of the initial error content of a program is given and the maximum likelihood estimations of multiple change-points are derived. We assess the performance of our multiple change-points model on numerical applicaiton.

본 논문은 소프트웨어 신뢰도 모형에서 다중 변화점을 고려함으로서 미래의 관찰치에 대한 예측 성능을 높일 수 있는 새로운 모형에서 프로그램 에러수의 최우추정량이 유한일 조건을 제시하고, 변화점 추정 방법에 대해 논의한다. 또한, 제안된 모형의 타당성을 조사하기 위해 실제 예제를 통하여 모형 성능을 평가한다.
