TLDR
It is shown that the MBI selection process can be based upon 64 different fuzzy associative memory (FAM) rules, and the same rules are used to generate 64 training patterns for a feedforward neural network.Abstract:
To make reasonable estimates of resources, costs, and schedules, software project managers need to be provided with models that furnish the essential framework for software project planning and control by supplying important “management numbers” concerning the state and parameters of the project that are critical for resource allocation. Understanding that software development is not a “mechanistic” process brings about the realization that parameters that characterize the development of software possess an inherent “fuzziness,” thus providing the rationale for the development of realistic models based on fuzzy set or neural theories.read more

A statistical methodology to simplify software metric models constructed using incomplete data samples
TL;DR: A methodology consisting of the k-nearest neighbors (k-NN) imputation method, statistical hypothesis testing, and a "goodness-of-fit" criterion is derived to solve the problems of redundant predictor metric(s) and/or unnecessary predictor metric complexity.

Current practices of software cost estimation technique in Malaysia context
TL;DR: Expert judgment and algorithmic model are widely used as methods in software cost estimation process and the process was done manually, which shows that the integration of these two methods helps in producing accurate result forcost estimation process.

A novel fuzzy based approach for effort estimation in software development
Amit Sinhal,Bhupendra Verma +1 more
TL;DR: The role of cost drivers (effort features) in improving the precision of effort estimation using Fuzzy Logic is investigated and the outcomes are compared against traditional methods using parameters like Mean Magnitude of Relative Error (MMRE) and Pred.

Applying Fuzzy Logic Modeling to Software Project Management
TL;DR: Evidence is provided to support the use of fuzzy sets, fuzzy rules and fuzzy inference in modeling predictive relationships of relevance to software project management and a software toolset is constructed that enables data, classes and rules to be defined for any such relationship.

Neural networks and physical systems with emergent collective computational abilities
TL;DR: A model of a system having a large number of simple equivalent components, based on aspects of neurobiology but readily adapted to integrated circuits, produces a content-addressable memory which correctly yields an entire memory from any subpart of sufficient size.
