one of the most important and valuable goal of software development life cycle is software cost estimation or sce. during the recent years, sce has attracted the attention of researchers due to huge amount of software project requests. there have been proposed so many models using heuristic and meta-heuristic algorithms to do machine learning process for sce. cocomo81 is one of the most popular...

This paper proposes to infer accurately a 3D shape of an object captured by a depth camera from multiple view points. The Generalised Relaxed Radon Transform (GR2T) [1] is used here to merge all depth images in a robust kernel density estimate that models the surface of an object in the 3D space. The kernel is tailored to capture the uncertainty associated with each pixel in the depth images. T...

If we try to estimate the parameters of the AR process {Xn} using the observed process {Xn+Zn} then these estimates will be badly biased and not consistent but we can minimize the damage using a robust estimation procedure such as GM-estimation. The question is does additive contamination affect estimates of “core” parameters in the infinite variance case to the same extent that it does in the ...
