A REGRESSION ANALYSIS PROCEDURE FOR ESTIMATING COSTS FROM SMALL SAMPLES.
Abstract
A detailed procedure for determining a cost estimating relationship is described in detail which can be followed by someone with limited statistical background and can be computed on a standard desk calculator. The model is a linear equation of one or two independent variables and describes the dependent variable as increasing at a constant, increasing, or decreasing rate as the causative characteristic increases. The latter two cases are accomplished by transformations. Included are procedures for validating the resulting equation and a discussion of its limitations. (Author)
