Abstract

Software development, like other scientific developments, requires formal experiments with a great deal of plan and analysis if they are to provide meaningful results[11]. This paper uses examples to extend the discussion to a certain statistical analysis, the prediction confidence interval, which have been pointed out but never been fully discussed. The purpose of this paper is to provide a better understanding of a statistical analysis for software experimenters when the experimental data is not as nice as expected.
