Software today has become an inseparable part of our life. In order to achieve the ever demanding needs of customers, it has to rapidly evolve and include a number of changes. In this paper, our aim is to study the relationship of object oriented metrics with change proneness attribute of a class. Prediction models based on this study can help us in identifying change prone classes of a software. We can then focus our efforts on these change prone classes during testing to yield a better quality software. Previously, researchers have used statistical methods for predicting change prone classes. But machine learning methods are rarely used for identification of change prone classes. In our study, we evaluate and compare the performances of ten machine learning methods with the statistical method. This evaluation is based on two open source software systems developed in Java language. We also validated the developed prediction models using other software data set in the same domain (3D modelling). The performance of the predicted models was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic analysis. The results indicate that the machine learning methods are at par with the statistical method for prediction of change prone classes. Another analysis showed that the models constructed for a software can also be used to predict change prone nature of classes of another software in the same domain. This study would help developers in performing effective regression testing at low cost and effort. It will also help the developers to design an effective model that results in less change prone classes, hence better maintenance.

In this paper, we generalize the software reliability growth model by assuming that the testing cost and maintenance cost are random and adopt the Bayesian approach to determine the optimal software release time. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the Bayesian method for certain parametric models.

In this paper, we Present the implementation of statistical process control software by using XLISP-STAT which is a kind of object oriented language under Windows environment. This software can be used to generate the graphic objects for various control charts, histogram and plots using the full-down menu system. This software can also be used to calculate control limits, process capability indices and test procedures for normality.

Translation errors in the statistical funtions of the Korean Excel 2002 software are analyzed into three categories: Pure translation mistakes; Vague translation; Inconsistent translation. These errors have not been corrected at least for the last ten years and therefore, it is suspicious that the Korean agents for foreign software companies are more interested in marketing with monololy power than in improving quality of their products

This review article presents an assessment of trends in statistical methods and an evaluation of their appropriateness in articles published in the Archives of Plastic Surgery (APS) from 2012 to 2017. We reviewed 388 original articles published in APS between 2012 and 2017. We categorized the articles that used statistical methods according to the type of statistical method, the number of statistical methods, and the type of statistical software used. We checked whether there were errors in the description of statistical methods and results. A total of 230 articles (59.3%) published in APS between 2012 and 2017 used one or more statistical method. Within these articles, there were 261 applications of statistical methods with continuous or ordinal outcomes, and 139 applications of statistical methods with categorical outcome. The Pearson chi-square test (17.4%) and the Mann-Whitney U test (14.4%) were the most frequently used methods. Errors in describing statistical methods and results were found in 133 of the 230 articles (57.8%). Inadequate description of P-values was the most common error (39.1%). Among the 230 articles that used statistical methods, 71.7% provided details about the statistical software programs used for the analyses. SPSS was predominantly used in the articles that presented statistical analyses. We found that the use of statistical methods in APS has increased over the last 6 years. It seems that researchers have been paying more attention to the proper use of statistics in recent years. It is expected that these positive trends will continue in APS.

It is well known that graphical display is critical to data analysis. A lot of research for data visualization has been done, so many effective graphical tools are now available. With the proper use of these graphical tools, we can penetrate the complex structure of data set easily. To enjoy the benefit of the powerful graphical display, the choice of the statistical software is very crucial. R is a popular open source software tool for statistical analysis and graphics, and can provide the very powerful graphics facilities. Moreover, many researchers believe that R is the best software for statistical graphics. In this paper, we would like to discuss what we teach and how we teach in statistical graphics course using R.

A software, the CATS (Computer Aided Teaching for Statistics), which is specially designed for teaching elementary statistics using the personal computer is developed. This software helps the novice to understand the complicated statistical theories, for example the central limit theorem, which are not easy to teach in classroom. The software is also designed for practicing the elementary statistical techniques using the small amount of data as the other statistical packages.

This study involves a Common Cause Failure (CCF) problem on the ultra-high reliability required system development such as war game operations, nuclear power control, air traffic control, space shuttle missions, and large scale network communication system. The system situation problems are defined according to CCF, reliability and system fault identifications for the development cast verifications in the multi-version redundant software system. Then, CCF analysis of redundant system, system principles and statistical dependence are also described. This validation oh the CCF in the human software interaction system will notify software engineers to conceive what really is CCF contribution factor, not only the internal but the external ones.
