Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to propose the use of Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) to predict software reliability. The GMDH algorithm presented in this paper is a heuristic self-organization method. It establishes the input-output relationship of a complex system using multilayered perception type structure that is similar to a feed forward multilayer neural network. The effectiveness of GMDH is demonstrated on a dataset taken from literature. Its performance is compared with that of multiple linear regression (MLR), back propagation trained neural networks (BPNN), threshold accepting trained neural network (TANN), general regression neural network (GRNN), pi-sigma network (PSN), dynamic evolving neuro-fuzzy inference system (DENFIS), TreeNet, multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) and wavelet neural network (WNN) in terms of normalized root mean square error (NRMSE). Based on experiments conducted, it is found that GMDH predicted reliability with least error compared to other techniques. Hence, GMDH can be used a sound alternative to the existing techniques for software reliability prediction.
