Statistical methods in software engineering

"This book establishes a framework for dealing with uncertainties in software engineering and for using quantitative measures for decision making in this context. It brings in perspective the large body of work having statistical content that is relevant to software engineering."--BOOK JACKET. "The audience is computer scientists, software engineers, reliability analysts, and statisticians. The content is pitched at a level that is appropriate for research workers in software reliability, and for graduate-level courses in applied statistics, computer science, operations research and software engineering."--BOOK JACKET.
