Cost Estimating Relationship for Theoretical First Unit Cost for Medium Bore Guns (10 - 40mm)

摘要

This report contains the results of an effort to collect data and develop a Cost Estimating Relationship (CER) to be used for predicting production costs for medium bore guns. The CER is based on two independent variables; size of the bore and number of barrels. Statistical attributes of the CER include a multiple correlation coefficient of 0.9969 and an index of determination of 0.9939. The data base contains seven data points representing guns with bore sizes that range from 7.62 to 40 millimeters with one to six barrels. The costs have been normalized to FY 77 dollars. (Author)
