Robust regression for developing software estimation models
TLDR
A new consistent and robust method called the least-squares of inverted balanced relative errors (LIRS) is proposed and its superiority to the ordinary least-Squares method is demonstrated by use of five actual data sets.About:

A Systematic Review of Software Development Cost Estimation Studies
Magne Jørgensen,Martin Shepperd +1 more
TL;DR: A systematic review of previous work identifies 304 software cost estimation papers in 76 journals and classifies the papers according to research topic, estimation approach, research approach, study context and data set to provide a basis for the improvement of software-estimation research.
Journal ArticleDOI
A simulation study of the model evaluation criterion MMRE
TL;DR: A simulation study demonstrating that MMRE does not always select the best model is performed, casting some doubt on the conclusions of any study of competing software prediction models that use MMRE as a basis of model comparison.

Software engineering economics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of economic analysis techniques and their applicability to software engineering and management, including the major estimation techniques available, the state of the art in algorithmic cost models, and the outstanding research issues in software cost estimation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reliability and validity in comparative studies of software prediction models
TL;DR: It is suggested that it is the research procedure itself that is unreliable, and this lack of reliability may strongly contribute to the lack of convergence in empirical studies on software prediction models.
