Abstract: The cost estimating discipline is making rapid progress in the Peoples Republic of China. Parametric cost estimating tools, including a microcircuit parametric estimating model, have been ...

As a brief reminder, parametric cost estimating is a technique in which an algorithm (or curve) is used to rapidly calculate costs based on historical data and project parameters (cost drivers such as ...

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to define the process used to develop a parametric estimating model and to explain the use of the model as it allows a nonsubject matter expert to predict the ...

Value-at-risk (VaR) is one of the most common risk measures used in finance. The correct estimation of VaR is essential for any financial institution, in order to arrive at the accurate capital ...

Multivariate failure time data arise when data consist of clusters in which the failure times may be dependent. A popular approach to such data is the marginal proportional hazards model with ...

The implementation product of this research study will be a contract time estimating tool that provides state transportation agencies the flexibility of estimating contract time across a broad range ...
