Abstract
A system and method for software estimation. In one embodiment, the software estimation system comprises a pre-processing neuro-fuzzy inference system used to resolve the effect of dependencies among contributing factors to produce adjusted rating values for the contributing factors, a neuro-fuzzy bank used to calibrate the contributing factors by mapping the adjusted rating values for the contributing factors to generate corresponding numerical parameter values, and a module that applies an algorithmic model (e.g. COCOMO) to produce one or more software output metrics.
