Abstract: Software defect prediction is an important direction of software reliability research.Because there are many factors influencing the software failure,and the relationship among them is complicated,the joint distribution function is commonly used to describe the analysis model,which is difficult to be determined in the practical application.This problem may impact software defect prediction directly.In this paper,we proposed a Quasi-likelihood method (PCA-QLM),which uses PCA to select the main metrics firstly,and then build defect prediction model.In our model,we can use the mean function and variance function of dependent variable to get the estimated parameter and then predict defects.In this paper,we draw a conclusion that PCA-QLM can apply to the software failure prediction and its perfor-mance is better than other models by comparing with probit regression forecasting model and logistic regression forecasting model based on two real datasets Eclipse JDT and Eclipse PDE.
