Abstract In the theory of cost-estimating relationship (CER) development using the method of ordinary least-squares (OLS) linear regression, where the dependent variable is y (e.g., cost) and the independent variable is x (e.g., weight, power, thrust, etc.), the square of the correlation coefficient is called the “coefficient of (linear) determination.” Usually denoted by the symbol…
Abstract This study explores a two-step regression procedure for assessing defense acquisition program cost growth using programmatic data from the Selected Acquisition Reports (SARs) between 1990 and 2000. We focus our analysis on cost growth in research and development dollars for the Engineering Manufacturing Development phase of the acquisition life cycle, specifically engineering cost growth.…
Abstract Christensen (1994b, 1999) describes several methods to evaluate the predicted final cost of a defense acquisition contract, termed the “Estimate at Completion” (EAC). One of the methods uses the EAC derived from the cumulative Cost Performance Index (CPI) as a lower bound to the final cost of a defense contract. The method was derived…
Abstract In this article, we postulate and test that, if the initial budget supports Rayleigh-distributed expenditures, then less cost or schedule growth occurs. Norden (1970) shows that, if effort on a project is a function of linear improvement in skills and diminishing remaining tasks, then the cumulative efforts follows with the Rayleigh cumulative distribution function,…
Abstract Norden (1970) demonstrates that the Rayleigh function can model manpower on research and development (R&D) programs. Several research efforts extend his work to modeling R&D program expenditures. The Rayleigh distribution, which is a degenerative of the Weibull distribution, suffers from two theoretical limitations that make the Weibull function a better model for R&D program…
