abstract ;;Quote: use analogy to estimate project effort: identify features, estimate effort from similar projects; outperforms algorithmic models such as COCOMO; use at least ten projects
737 ;;Quote: mixed results reported for COCOMO and function point estimates of project effort
739 ;;Quote: effort estimation by analogy was OK even when restricted to categorical data or a single measurement
740 ;;Quote: effort estimation by analogy and regression analysis works best for builds or enhancements to an existing system and worst for dissimilar projects from multiple organizations
