《一种推导广义软件度量模型的方法:理论与实验(英文版)》主要讲述了： dilates on its underlying research which aimed to innovate a new general methodology for deriving generalized software metrics models from past empirical software metrics data. These genera/ised software metrics models are to predict the target software metric（s） of any future software project from the project's predictor software metric（s） always in a best-effort, best-accuracy and best-consistency manner whether all, only some or even none of these required predictor software metric（s） is/are available for that future project and/or projects in the past empirical software ware metrics data. A software project's predictor software metric（s） indicate（s） or measure（s） the project's relevant software engineering factor（s）. This' general methodology was illustrated in the research by deriving, from the empirical software metrics data of past software projects sourced in this research, two real-world generalized software metrics models with the productivity and work effort measures as the target software metrics respectively. These two real-world generalized software metrics models' prediction accuracy and consistency were also assessed in this research. Additionally done was an analysis of the impact of the various aforesaid software engineering factor（s） of software projects on the projects' productivity and work effort. All these works are presented in this book.
