RADC-TR-77-175, FINAL TECHNICAL REPORT: STATISTICAL PREDICTION OF PROGRAMMING ERRORS (MAY-1977) [AD-A041106]

RADC-TR-77-175, FINAL TECHNICAL REPORT: STATISTICAL PREDICTION OF PROGRAMMING ERRORS (MAY-1977) [AD-A041106]., This report presents and discusses the results obtained for statistical predictions of programming errors using multiple linear regression analysis. Programming errors were predicted from linear combinations of program characteristics and programmer variables. Each of the program characteristic variables were consideced to be measures of the program's complexity and structure.
