Bootstrap Correlation Analysis of Function Point Elements

This research work investigates the correlation of software function point elements using bootstrap simulation.The correlation of software function point elements plays an important role in understanding the software size; the correlation among function point elements suggests that they measure the same attribute of a software project.Bootstrapping is an effective method to study the statistical properties of correlation coefficients; bootstrap produces a histogram of the possible values of correlation coefficients, which helps to understand the range and spread of the correlation among different function point elements, rater then generating a single point estimate of the correlation.
