The objective of this chapter is to provide an introduction to statistical techniques and concepts that are frequently used when dealing with data for effort estimation. The concepts presented here are in no way exhaustive since statistics comprises a very large body of knowledge where entire books are devoted to specific topics. The parts that are the focus of this chapter are those that are necessary to use when building effort estimation models, and also when comparing different effort estimation techniques.
