Accuracy Comparison of Analogy‐Based Software Development Effort Estimation Techniques
International Journal of Intelligent Systems, 2016 Estimation by analogy is a commonly used software effort estimation technique and a suitable alternative to other conventional estimation techniques: It predicts the effort of the target project using information from former similar projects. While it is

Eliminating Over-Confidence in Software Development Effort Estimates [PDF]
, 2004 Previous studies show that software development projects strongly underestimate the uncertainty of their effort estimates. This overconfidence in estimation accuracy may lead to poor project planning and execution. In this paper, we investigate whether the use of estimation error information from previous projects improves the realism of uncertainty ...
