I am trying to extrapolate data from Blackwell Contrast Threshold 1946, however when i use TableCurve3D, the result is not consistent and unpredictable.
Is there something that I am missing?
I use the angular subtense as X, Bo (Surface Brightness) as Y, and Contrast Threshold as Z.
I have attached the blackwell data and his full paper.
Please help me guys.
Relevant answer
Answer
You can use Excel Solver.
You need data to fit, an equation with parameters to fit to. Make some initial guesses to the parameters and use these parameters to calculate data values you predict. Get the error by subtracting each of the actual values from the predicted values and squaring. Add all the squared errors to get the sum squared error. The sum squared error is what you minimise using solver.
It is easier to interpolate than to extrapolate outside the bounds of your actual data.

Very small entities (VMEs) are software engineering companies or teams with small number of members and limited financial resources. In this context, it is hard to follow a prescriptive software development process based on IEEE12207, so less resource-demanding processes based on ISO /IEC 29110 are more feasible to implement. My goal is to incorporate activities in a VSE software process for assuring accessibility features in the software products. Any ideas? Thanks and happy new year from Ecuador :)

Hi Sandra
What could be interesting to look  at is the methodology of Design Thinking, it has been very successful for some companies for the Design of there software for niched population  or special conditions ( I put accessibility in this category ).
Have a look at Design School link below. 
Hope this could help

I have a feature "skills" which is a multi-valued parameter. I want to use it as feature for classification. I don't know how to use it for training model.
For example, a job have certain required skills (say Java, Node.js, MVC), which can be different for different jobs. I have to use skills as one of the parameter
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Answer
Hi Kumar,
You should choose classifier which copes with nominal features, such as decision tree or random forest. Most classifiers require numerical features (neural network, SVM, Bayes).

In Agile Software Development using Scrum, can you have a velocity as early as Sprint zero. If yes, what would be the formula to calculate it? 
Relevant answer
Answer
Team Velocity is established as an end value of a sprint (iteration), it is empirical in nature and cannot be calculated. You can make an educated guess for the next sprint, however this will miss the unanticipated events during the sprint. So teams use average velocity to support forecasting for delivery of all that is of value, which otherwise is of potentially releasable product increment at the end of each sprint.

In the October 2015 issue of the Communications of the ACM there is a contributed article 'Framing Sustainability as a Property of Software Quality.' This is an article that introduces this idea. Building in sustainability of a system, in this case software, suspends or inhibits the decay of the ssystem over time. Much has been writte about software and system decay. I propose that effectively pursuing the required steps of technology readiness (10 steps in large government or public systems, and 3 to 4 steps if technology readiness in commercial for profit systems) can improve improve sustainability of (system/software) quality wherein Technology is identified within the framework presented in the CACM paper. If this is verified/validated then may delay over time the technical decay of the system/software, assuming that the other three dimensions of the framework are also weighed or left invariant.

As the nature of human errors depends on the specific properties of the decision-maker and the context of IT project processes it seems that a kind of meta-communication model may be useful for increasing quality of SE processes in the sense of avoiding human errors. Are there any research performed on meta-communication within Software Engineering processes? Thanks in advance!

There are a lot of techniques and approaches used to detect code clone. Is there any possibility to construct a model that consist of certain processes that can be used to detect code clone? If yes, what are the critical processes that can be considered in a model and its criteria of detection and analysis? For example of criteria: does the model need to be language independent; simple and robust, etc. 
Relevant answer
Answer
For sure, it's possible to build such a thing and make it language independent, the programming language can be used to add then an additional dimension to your classification engine. 
To come up with features to use in your code clone program, you don't need to complicate much, keep it simple, you can use the kind of things that you expect to find in all programs, like spaces, length of line, use of libraries, length of variables and function names.  If at the end of the day you still have not enough features, just try mixing them together, even if it doesn't make much sense. But avoid linear relationships between your features.
Somehow while answering your question I have the strong preconception that you will use some sort of logistic regression as the algorithm to classify your data. Important then is that you get a good deal of data that you can use for your task.  Sometimes this is the hardest part, finding enough data to train your detector.
Ask yourself also, why are you doing this, maybe there is already good enough software out there, that with little modification can accomplish what you have in mind. As always applying the principle, the less lines of code you have to write (maintain), the better.

Are ArchiMate and UML meant to be used simultaneously or should one always opt for one of them?
Relevant answer
Answer
It depends on what you're trying to model. UML is very well known and there are a lot of resources to help get you started (software, tutorials etc). UML can also be a bit overwhelming at first but it is worth the time and effort. ArchiMate is useful and possibly faster to learn, but is more suited when you also want to incorporate business/management elements in your chart. My opinion is that if you need a lot of detail, use UML. If you don't require a lot of detail but want to incorporate elements of business/management processes, use ArchiMate instead.

The aim of the question is to get an insight of the cost estimation models used in approximating cost of web applications.
What are the cost estimation models used to approximate cost for web applications or andriod applications?
Relevant answer
Answer
I strongly recommend taking a look at the research by prof. Emília Mendes from the Blekinge Institute of Technology in Sweden. She has several papers (probably more than 50) and two books on this topic ("Web Engineering" and "Cost Estimation Techniques for Web Projects"). I think that her best results were obtained using Bayesian Models built with within-company domain experts, she had a paper at last years ICSE on this, entitled "Using knowledge elicitation to improve Web effort estimation: Lessons from six industrial case studies". By the way, she is in ResearchGate, so you can check her publications and follow her updates. Hope that this helps and good luck!

Dear Mr. Kirmani
As far as I know and given the questions you posted, I think a good option would be to make a systematic mapping in the subject, which might have an idea of progress, issues, and authors work on what needs to "see" .
If you are interested in this, I recommend reviewing this work http://robertfeldt.net/publications/petersen_ease08_sysmap_studies_in_se.pdf
I hope you find it useful.
