A Framework of Statistical and Visualization Techniques for Missing Data Analysis in Software Cost Estimation

open access: yes, 2018
Software Cost Estimation (SCE) is a critical phase in software development projects. However, due to the growing complexity of the software itself, a common problem in building software cost models is that the available datasets contain lots of missing ...

SOFTWARE COST ESTIMATION

open access: yes, 2009
Software cost estimation is the process of predicting the effort, schedule and cost required to develop a software system. The fundamental equation for estimating the cost of a software activity is simple in concept, but very tricky in real life. In this

A Hybrid Artificial Bee Colony and Artificial Fish Swarm Algorithms for Software Cost Estimation

open access: yesUHD Journal of Science and Technology
Software cost estimation (SCE), estimating the cost and time required for software development, plays a highly significant role in managing software projects. A somewhat accurate SCE is necessary for a software project to be successful.

A New Optimized Hybrid Model Based On COCOMO to Increase the Accuracy of Software Cost Estimation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Computer Engineering and Technology, 2018
The literature review shows software development projects often neither meet time deadlines, nor run within the allocated budgets. One common reason can be the inaccurate cost estimation process, although several approaches have been proposed in this ...

Race and Household Income Are Associated With Disease Outcomes in Pediatric Patients With Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody–Associated Vasculitis Hospitalized in the United States

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Race and household income impact outcomes in patients with rheumatic conditions; however, their role in pediatric antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)–associated vasculitis (AAV) remains poorly understood. We aimed to evaluate whether race and ethnicity and household income are associated with severe AAV disease and renal outcomes among
