Software Effort Estimation Using Multilayer Perceptron and Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System

Berna Seref and Necaattin Barisci

Abstract— Accurate software effort estimation has a big importance for software companies for the reason that management of the project, control of the project, financial matters and timely deliveries are achieved with effort estimation. Thus, effort estimation plays vital role for software companies. In this study, software effort estimation is predicted by using Multilayer Perceptron and Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System. As a dataset, NASA 93 with 93 projects and Desharnais with 77 projects are used. The results show that Mean Magnitude Relative Error of Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System is lower than Multilayer Perceptron. In addition, it is seen that PRED(0.25) value of Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System is higher than Multilayer Perceptron. Thus, performance of Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System is better when compared to performance of Multilayer Perceptron.

Index Terms— Software effort estimation, multilayer perceptron, adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system.
