This book was released on 1973 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study addresses the problem of uncertainty in the aggregation of subsystem cost estimating relationships for destroyer type naval ships. The case of correlations between subsystems is discussed with respect to total cost estimates, total cost variance, and prediction intervals. The joint generalized least squares method is developed and applied to the ship cost estimating problem. (Modified author abstract).

This book was released on 1974 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joint Generalized Least Squares is an extension of least squares techniques which decreases statistical uncertainty in derived regression equations. The technique is applied to historical costs for airframes, avionics, and engines in fighter aircraft. A comparison is made of parametric cost estimating relationships derived using ordinary and Joint Generalized Least Squares to demonstrate reductions in statistical uncertainty.

Download or read book Estimation of Destroyer Type Naval Ship Procurement Costs written by Donald Mearns Hernon and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report presents three models by which the total procurement cost of Destroyer and Destroyer Escorts may be estimated. One model uses 9 subsystem cost estimating relationships (CERs) to obtain a total cost estimate; the second model uses 4 subsystem CERs; the final model is a single total cost equation. The CERs were developed using the linear least squares regression technique on a data base of ships built from 1954-66. The CERs use input variables that may be determined long before actual ship construction begins. This fact, and the precision of the model estimates, recommend usage of these models in cost-effectiveness analysis. The Patrol Frigate Project is used as a sample application, wherein model estimates compare favorably with the current NAVSHIPS cost estimates. (Author).

This book was released on 1982 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A common first step in estimating costs of naval ship categories is to use a linear relationship based on ship displacement. Such estimates represent rough initial approximations. This process can be used, however, with better accuracy to estimate the cost of procurement of aggregations of naval ships and classes. Cost estimating relationships (CERs) are developed in this paper for such applications.
Download or read book A Parametric Cost Model for Estimating Operating and Support Costs of U S Navy Non Nuclear Surface Ships written by James M. Brandt and published by . This book was released on 1999-06-01 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With few effective decision-making tools to assess the affordability of major weapon systems, management of total ownership costs is continually misunderstood. Cost analysis provides a quick and reliable assessment of affordability. Because there is no standardized method for calculating reliable estimates of operating and support (O&S) costs (the principal component of total ownership cost), this thesis formulates a parametric cost model which can be used to determine the annual O&S costs of U.S. Navy (non-nuclear) surface ships based on known (or assumed) physical characteristics and manpower expectations. Source data for the cost model is obtained from the Navy Visibility and Management of O&S Costs (VAMOSC) database, a historical cost database maintained by the Naval Center for Cost Analysis (NCCA). Through standard regression and data analysis techniques, cost estimating relationships are developed for three major cost drivers: ship light displacement, ship overall length, and ship manpower. The formulated parametric cost model is a top-level and fairly reliable representation of average annual O&S cost, and it can be used by the DOD cost community to perform component cost analyses or independent cost estimates.
