Analyzing the Stationarity Process in Software Effort Estimation Datasets
Michael Franklin Bosu, Stephen G. MacDonell, Peter A. Whigham
Software effort estimation models are typically developed based on an underlying assumption that all data points are equally relevant to the prediction of effort for future project…
Investigating the Significance of Bellwether Effect to Improve Software Effort Estimation
Solomon Mensah, Jacky Keung, Stephen G. MacDonell +2
Bellwether effect refers to the existence of exemplary projects (called the Bellwether) within a historical dataset to be used for improved prediction performance. Recent studies h…
Investigating the Significance of the Bellwether Effect to Improve Software Effort Prediction: Further Empirical Study
Solomon Mensah, Jacky Keung, Stephen G. MacDonell +2
Context: In addressing how best to estimate how much effort is required to develop software, a recent study found that using exemplary and recently completed projects [forming Bell…
Experience: Quality Benchmarking of Datasets Used in Software Effort Estimation
Michael F. Bosu, Stephen G. MacDonell
Data is a cornerstone of empirical software engineering (ESE) research and practice. Data underpin numerous process and project management activities, including the estimation of d…
