New Technique for Estimating Development Scale ─Implementing the Function Scale Method─
نویسنده
چکیده
The Function Scale (FS) method, which measures the size of a software system, was developed by Fujitsu in 2004 and has since been used extensively for software developed mainly for internal use within the Fujitsu Group. Up to now, the Function Point (FP) method has been the de facto standard for software size estimation and has been widely used as a functional size measurement method. Compared with the FP method, the FS method uses simpler measurements and its approach is easier to understand, so the results do not depend on who is conducting the measurements. The FS method is not merely a measuring technique but can also be used in project management. I give actual examples of this and also present examples of the various efforts to promote more extensive use of the FS method within the Fujitsu Group.

ESTIMATION OF SCALE PARAMETER UNDER A REFLECTED GAMMA LOSS FUNCTION
In this paper, the estimation of a scale parameter t under a new and bounded loss function, based on a reflection of the gamma density function, is discussed. The best scale-invariant estimator of tis obtained and the admissibility of all linear functions of the sufficient statistic, for estimating t in the absence of a nuisance parameter, is investigated
متن کاملEstimating Returns to Scale in the Presence of Undesirable Factors in Data Envelopment Analysis
This research identifies returns to scale (RTS) of efficient decision making units (DMUs) with desirable (good) and undesirable (bad) inputs and outputs by presenting a new DEA (data envelopment analysis) approach. In this study, we first introduce a new input-output oriented model to determine efficient DMUs in the presence of undesirable factors and then, returns to scale of these DMUs are es...
متن کاملEstimating IDF based on daily precipitation using temporal scale model
The intensity –duration –frequency (IDF) curves play most important role in watershed management, flood control and hydraulic design of structures. Conventional method for calculating the IDF curves needs hourly rainfall data in different durations which is not extensively available in many regions. Instead 24-hour precipitation statistics were measured in most rain-gauge stations. In this stud...
متن کاملA New Technique for Image Zooming Based on the Moving Least Squares
In this paper, a new method for gray-scale image and color zooming algorithm based on their local information is offered. In the proposed method, the unknown values of the new pixels on the image are computed by Moving Least Square (MLS) approximation based on both the quadratic spline and Gaussian-type weight functions. The numerical results showed that this method is more preferable to biline...
متن کاملNew method for estimation of the scale of fluctuation of geotechnical properties in natural deposits
One of the main distinctions between geomaterials and other engineering materials is the spatial variation of their properties in different directions. This characteristic of geomaterials -so called heterogeneity- is studied herewith. Several spatial distributions are introduced to describe probabilistic variation of geotechnical properties of soils. Among all, the absolute normal distribution ...
