Spectral Clustering Effect in Software Development Effort Estimation
Software development effort estimation is essential for software project planning and management. In this study, we present a spectral clustering algorithm based on symmetric matrixes as an option for data processing. It is expected that constructing an estimation model on more similar data can increase the estimation accuracy.
