Abstract
This thesis explores methods to find features that affect the start time of mobile
apps. To help app developers improve performance over patch cycles, we
implement an alarm pipeline in Apache Spark and tested it. This implementation
is able to detect notable changes in the start time distribution and alert
the developer. Spark is a scalable cluster computing framework, that proved
well suited for the given problem.
The program consists of five steps; preprocessing the data, fitting a Gaussian
mixture model (GMM) to the data, and finding differences in the distributions.
Then a linear regression model is fit to map the available features
to the GMM parametrization. The linear regression enables the developer to
find relationships... (More)

Then a linear regression model is fit to map the available features
to the GMM parametrization. The linear regression enables the developer to
find relationships between the available features and the parametrization, by
analyzing the regression weights.
We tested the alarm pipeline on two data sets and shown that it could identify
statistically significant changes in the start-time distribution (Less)
