Take the guesswork out of software project estimation: Investigate size, effort, and scheduling of projects: Heads of large IT organizations continue to be tormented by one of the most difficult facets of managing IT business: controlling their budgets. Estimates that cover costs towards discretionary and non-discretionary expenses, including operational and infrastructure costs, have always been a source of dispute and ambiguity. Unlike hard facts and...; Tags: Software, Addison-Wesley, Tools & Techniques, Management; Book chapters 2007-03-27
A Preliminary Checklist for Software Cost Management: This paper presents a process framework and a preliminary checklist for software cost management. While most textbooks and research papers on cost estimation look mainly at the "Estimation" phase, this framework and checklist includes the phases relevant to estimation: "Preparation", "Estimation", "Application", and "Learning". The authors believe that cost estimation...; Tags: Software, Estimation, Checklist, Managerial Accounting, Tools & Techniques, Finance, Management; White papers 2003-06-30
Estimation Risk, Market Efficiency, and the Predictability of Returns: n asset pricing, estimation risk refers to investor uncertainty about the parameters of the return or cashflow process. We show that with estimation risk the observable properties of prices and returns can differ significantly from the properties perceived by rational investors. In particular, parameter uncertainty will tend to induce return...; Tags: Asset management, estimation, National Bureau of Economic Research, predictability, investor, asset pricing, volatility, dividend, asset; White papers 2000-05-01
The Estimation of Effort Based on Use Cases: This paper describes a framework in which use cases at any level can be used to form an effort estimate. To present the ideas, some simple canonical structures are described, with associated dimensions and sizes that have some basis in experience. There are many variations of use case specification style...; Tags: Use Case; White papers 2003-08-26
Effort Estimate to Schedule: Other than COCOMO, where can I find a good resource for the working man PM that describes a methodology to convert effort estimates (person man-months) to a workable schedule? I know COCOMO does have a Schedule formula, but I'd like to see a detailed example of project estimation from...; Tags: wegenert@..., COCOMO, effort estimate; Discussion threads 2007-07-02
Estimation of Carrier-Frequency Offset and Frequency-Selective Channels in MIMO OFDM Systems Using a Common Training Signal: This paper presents a common training signal design and corresponding estimation methods for carrier frequency offset and frequency-selective channels in MIMO OFDM systems. In designing the common training signal, a training signal structure which yields low complexity estimation methods is developed while the optimality of the training signal is maintained....; Tags: Estimation, Training, MIMO-OFDM, Estimation Method, Workforce Management, Human Resources; White papers 2004-09-13
Improving Channel Estimation in OFDM Systems for Sparse Multipath Channels: This paper describes an algorithm for sparse channel estimation applicable to orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems.
