We give a simple combinatorial proof of the Chernoff-Hoeffding concentration bound [Che52, Hoe63], which says that the sum of independent {0, 1}-valued random variables is highly ...
A simple multivariate version of Costa's entropy power inequality is proved. In particular, it is shown that if independent white Gaussian noise is added to an arbitrary multi...
Functional Size Measures are often used for effort estimation. However, these measures do not take into account the amount and complexity of elaboration required, concentrating in...
Background. Currently there are several definitions of measures that should represent the size of software functional requirements. These measures have gained a quite relevant rol...
