A Comparison of Coalescent Estimation Software
Coalescent theory is a method often used by population geneticists in order to make inferences about evolutionary parameters. The coalescent is a stochastic model that approximates ancestral relationships among genes. An understanding of the coalescent pattern of a sample of sequences, along with …

Effort Estimation Model for Software Customisation Projects
Effort estimation is an important and challenging issue in software engineering. Software developers and/or project managers need to estimate the effort early in the software development life cycle, to evaluate the appropriate budget and manpower. Surprisingly, effort estimation for software …

Reducing the risk of software cost estimation
Inaccurate cost estimation is a well-known problem in software development. The common cost estimation models are point estimates that are unable to quantify uncertainties. Furthermore, it is difficult to calibrate the uncertainties in cost estimation due to the lack of information. The purpose of …

Comparative analysis between FPA and COCOMO techniques for software cost estimation
Software cost estimation is the process of predicting the effort required to develop a software system. The basic inputs for the software cost estimation are programs, size and set of cost drivers, while the output is effort in the form of person-month and cost. In this thesis, Function Point …

Estimation in a Marked Poisson Error Recapture Model of Software Reliability
<p>Nayak's (1988) model for the detection, removal, and recapture of the errors in a computer program is extended to a larger family of models in which the probabilities that the successive programs produce errors are described by the tail probabilities of discrete distribution on the positive …
