Challenges of Data-Driven Cost Estimation in an Industrial Environment

Readily available data that allow companies to apply data-intensive estimation methods are often inconsistent, invalid, or incomplete. Most evaluation methods, with the exception of optimized set reduction (OSR®) cannot deal with imperfect data, and th..
