The Use of the Joint Generalized Least Squares Estimation Technique in the Aggregation of Subsystem Cost Estimating Relationships for Ships

Abstract

The study addresses the problem of uncertainty in the aggregation of subsystem cost estimating relationships for destroyer type naval ships. The case of correlations between subsystems is discussed with respect to total cost estimates, total cost variance, and prediction intervals. The joint generalized least squares method is developed and applied to the ship cost estimating problem.
