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 certain statistical analyses, i.e., robust estimation and variance modeling, which are relatively new and may have never been practiced in the software engineering field.
