dimensions of defect management strategy, ie software defect analysis, software quality …

Several feature weight optimization techniques have been proposed for similarity functions
in analogy-based estimation (ABE); however, no consensus regarding the method and …

Analogy-Based Estimation (ABE) is one of the promising estimation models used for
predicting the software development effort. Researchers proposed different variants of the …

Several models have been presented to solve the financial time series forecasting problem.
However, even with sophisticated techniques, a dilemma arises from all these models …

The dilation-erosion-linear perceptron is a hybrid morphological neuron which has been
recently proposed in the literature to solve some prediction problems. However, a drawback …

Analogy-based software effort estimation is a method to estimate the project cost of an
unseen project based on analogies against previous projects sharing selected features. The …

High quality software requires the occurrence of minimum number of failures while software
runs. Software fault prediction is the determining whether software modules are prone to …

In this paper we propose a hybrid methodology to design morphological-rank-linear (MRL)
perceptrons in the problem of software development cost estimation (SDCE). In this …

Software development effort estimation (SDEE) has been the focus of research in recent
years. No single software development estimation technique is best for all situations and …
