Software effort estimation is one of the most difficult tasks in software development whereas predictability is also of equal importance for strategic management. Accurate prediction of the actual cost that will be incurred in software development can be very beneficial for the strategic management. This study discusses the latest trends in software estimation focusing on analogy-based techniques to show how they have improved the accuracy for software effort estimation. It applies the standard deviation technique to the expected value of analogy-based estimates to improve accuracy. In more than 60 percent cases the applied technique of this study helped in improving the accuracy of software estimation by reducing the Magnitude of Relative Error (MRE). The technique is simple and it calculates the expected value of cost or time and then uses different confidence levels which help in making more accurate commitments to the customers.

We presents a modified variable dimension filter with input estimation for maneuvering target tracking. The conventional variable dimension filter with input estimation(VDIE) consists of the input estimation(IE) technique and the variable dimension(VD) filter. In the VDIE, the IE technique is used for estimation of a maneuver onset time and its magnitude in the least square sense. The detection of the maneuver is declared according to the estimated magnitude of the maneuver. The VD filter structure is applied for the adaptation to the maneuver of the target after compensating the filter parameter with respect to the estimated maneuver when the detection of the maneuver is declared. The VDIE is known as one of the best maneuvering target tracking filter based on a single filter. However, it requires too much computational burden since the IE technique is performed at every sampling instance and thus it is computationally inefficient. We propose another variable dimension filter with input estimation named 'Modified VDIE' which combines VD filter with If technique. Modified VDIE has less computational load than the original one by separating maneuver detection and input estimation. Simulation results show that the proposed VDIE is more efficient and outperforms in terms of computational load.

Two methods which estimate manoeuvring derivatives in the model of hydrodynamic force and moment acting on a manoeuvring ship using sea trial data were compared. One is the widely used parameter estimation method by using the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), which estimates state variables of linearized state space model at every instant after dealing with the coefficients as the augmented state variables. The other one is the Estimation-Before-Modeling (EBM) technique, so called the two-step method. In the first step, hydrodynamic force of which dynamic model is assumed the third-order Gauss-Markov process is estimated along with motion variables by the EKF and the modified Bryson-Frazier smoother. Then, in the next step, manoeuvring derivatives are identified through the regression analysis. If the exact structure of hydrodynamic force could be known, which was an ideal case, the EKF method would be regarded as being more superior compared to the EBM technique. However the EBM technique was more robust than the EKF method from a realistic point of view where the assumed model structure was slightly different from the real one.

초광대역 방식의 실내 무선 위치인식 추정에서 비 가시거리 환경으로 인한 불규칙한 신호 도착시간 또는 클러스터화 된 다중경로 성분들의 겹침으로 인해, 도착시간 매개변수 추정 기법들은 합리적인 도착시간 (TOA) 매개변수를 얻는데 어려움을 가진다. 이 문제를 극복하고 우수한 성능의 초광대역 실내 우선 위치인식 추정을 달성하기 위해 종래 추정 기법과 다르고 클리스터 문제에 영향을 거이 받지 않는 강인한 TOA 매개변수 추정 기법과 초광대역 신호 모형을 제안한다. 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통해 제안 모형과 추정기법의 타당성을 검증하고 추정오차의 성능도 분석한다.

레이더에서 목표물을 예측하기위해서 입사 방향 추정 방법을 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 적응 배열 입사 방향 방법과 단일 지향 오차 입사 방향 추정방법을 사용하여 목표물에 대한 입사방향을 추정하였다. 적응 배열 입사 방향 방법으로 주엽 재밍과 부엽 재밍을 제거하여 목표물에 대한 신호 입사 방향을 추정하였다. 단일 지향 방법은 신호 입사 방향의 지향오차가 크기 때문에 목표물의 정확한 추정은 어렵다. 원하는 목표 신호를 수신하기 위해서는신호의 입사 방향과 지향방향사이에 지향오차가 거의 없어야 한다. 입사 방향 추정시 공분산을 구하기 위해서 생기는 지연 시간문제와 단일 지향조건을 이용하여 발생하는 지향오차 문제를 감소시켰다. 본 논문에서는 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안된 입사 방향 추정방법이 기존의 방법에 비해 목표물 추정면에서 우수함을 보인다.

Signal averaging technique to improve signal-to-noise ratio has widely been used in various fields, especially in electrophysiology. Estimation of the EP(evoked potential) signal using the conventional averaging method fails to correctly reconstruct the original signal under EEG(electroencephalogram) noise especial]y when the latency times of the evoked potential are not identical. Therefore, a technique based on the bispectrum averaging was proposed for recovering signal waveform from a set o noisy signals with variable signal dalay. In this paper an improved bispectrum estimation technique of the RP signal is proposed using a confidence thresholding of the EP signal in frequency domain in which energy distribution of the EP signal is usually not uniform. The suggested technique is coupled with the conventional bispectrum estimation technique such as least square method and recursive method. Some results with simulated data and real EP signal are shown.

Several reasons such as no free lunch theorem indicate that there is not a universal Feature selection (FS) technique that outperforms other ones. Moreover, some approaches such as using synthetic dataset, in presence of large number of FS techniques, are very tedious and time consuming task. In this study to tackle the issue of dependency of estimation accuracy on the selected FS technique, a methodology based on the heterogeneous ensemble is proposed. The performance of the major learning algorithms of neural network (i.e. the FFNN-BR, the FFNN-LM) in combination with the diverse FS techniques (i.e. the NCA, the F-test, the Kendall's tau, the Pearson, the Spearman, and the Relief) and different combination techniques of the heterogeneous ensemble (i.e. the Min, the Median, the Arithmetic mean, and the Geometric mean) are considered. The target parameters/transients of Bushehr nuclear power plant (BNPP) are examined as the case study. The results show that the Min combination technique gives the more accurate estimation. Therefore, if the number of FS techniques is m and the number of learning algorithms is n, by the heterogeneous ensemble, the search space for acceptable estimation of the target parameters may be reduced from n × m to n × 1. The proposed methodology gives a simple and practical approach for more reliable and more accurate estimation of the target parameters compared to the methods such as the use of synthetic dataset or trial and error methods.

An input estimation technique for tracking filter(CHP algorithm) suggested by Y.T. Chan et. al. has bad performance for low maneuvering targets. In this paper, two maneuver detection algorithms are applied to Singer's target model. First, an CHP input estimation technique is applied to 9 state target model. Second, we construct a maneuver detection and correction technique using pseudo acceleration measurements, which are derived directly from measurements. These two filters have good performance for even the low maneuvering targets.

A novel motion vector re-estimation technique for transcoding into lower spatial resolution is proposed. This technique is based on the fact that the block matching error is proportional to the complexity of the reference block with Taylor series expansion. It is shown that the motion vectors re-estimated by the proposed method are closer to optimal ones and offer better quality than those of previous techniques.
