Using Linear Regression Models to Analyse the Effect of Software Process Improvement
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we publish the results of a thorough empirical evaluation of a CMM-based software process improvement program that took place at the IT department of a large Dutch financial institution. Data of 410 projects collected over a period of four years are analysed and a productivity improvement of about 20% is found. In addition to these results we explain how the use of linear regression models and hierarchical linear models greatly enhances the sensitivity of analysis of empirical data on software improvement programs.

Experimental Evaluation of Algorithmic Effort Estimation Models using Projects Clustering
One of the most important aspects of software project management is the estimation of cost and time required for running information system. Therefore, software managers try to carry estimation based on behavior, properties, and project restrictions. Software cost estimation refers to the process of development requirement prediction of software system. Various kinds of effort estimation patter...
متن کاملApplication of non-linear regression and soft computing techniques for modeling process of pollutant adsorption from industrial wastewaters
The process of pollutant adsorption from industrial wastewaters is a multivariate problem. This process is affected by many factors including the contact time (T), pH, adsorbent weight (m), and solution concentration (ppm). The main target of this work is to model and evaluate the process of pollutant adsorption from industrial wastewaters using the non-linear multivariate regression and intell...
متن کاملModeling The Capacity Factor of Analytes in Micellar Electrokinetic Chromatography Using Computational Descriptors
A multiple linear regression model is proposed to calculate capacity factor of analytes using structural features computed using HyperChem software. The chemical descriptors of analytes were computed using HyperChem software and regressed against the experimental capacity factors of analytes collected from the literature. The absolute average percentage deviation (AARD) and individua...
متن کاملDaily Pan Evaporation Estimation Using Artificial Neural Network-based Models
Accurate estimation of evaporation is important for design, planning and operation of water systems. In arid zones where water resources are scarce, the estimation of this loss becomes more interesting in the planning and management of irrigation practices. This paper investigates the ability of artificial neural networks (ANNs) technique to improve the accuracy of daily evaporation estimation....

Evaluation of intercity trips may be used for anticipation of trip demands, services’ pricing and improvement of the studies for contradiction determination. Usage of trip demand modeling processes, like what existed in the classic method for analyzing urban trip demand, would make the analysis of road trips possible. A substitute method for 4 Steps Models is to use Direct Demand Modeling whic...
