摘要
In this paper we present a new, non-parametric approach to software reliability. It is based on a multivariate counting process with additive intensity, incorporating covariates and including several projects in one model. Furthermore, we present ways to obtain failure data from the development of open source software. We analyse a data set from this source and consider several choices of covariates. We are able to observe a different impact of recently added and older source code onto the failure intensity. Copyright (C) 2004 John Wiley Sons, Ltd.
