Customizability, extensive community support and ease of availability have led to the popularity of Open-Source Software (OSS) systems. However, maintenance of these systems is a challenge especially as they become considerably large and complex with time. One possible method of ensuring effective quality in large scale OSS is the adoption of software change prediction models. These models aid in identifying change-prone parts in the early stages of software development, which can then be effectively managed by software practitioners. This study extensively evaluates eight Homogeneous Ensemble Learners (HEL) for developing software change prediction models on five large scale OSS datasets. HEL, which integrate the outputs of several learners of the same type are known to generate improved results than other non-ensemble classifiers. The study also statistically compares the results of the models developed by HEL with ten non-ensemble classifiers. We further assess the change in performance of HEL for developing software change prediction models by substituting their default base learners with other classifiers. The results of the study support the use of HEL for developing software change prediction models and indicate Random Forest as the best HEL for the purpose.
