Given the extent to which LLMs have become embedded in the software world, offloading the estimation question to an LLM appears to be an obvious solution. The problem is that LLMs are very unlikely to give a meaningful answer. However,…

I have finally gotten around to creating a GitHub repository for the publicly available software estimation datasets. My reasons for doing this include increasing the visibility of the large datasets, having something to reference when I tell people about the miniscule size of most of the datasets modeled in research papers (one of my most…
