Method databases of recorded or calculated unit rates and a wide choice of data manipulation techniques, such as intuitive or mathematically supported case-based reasoning, statistical inference and non-parametric modeling are looked at. The consequences of using input from real-life projects and uniform purpose-made calculations (such as those published in Polish pricebooks) are also analyzed.}, doi = {10.4467/2353737XCT.14.087.2537}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/czasopismo-techniczne/artykul/unit-rate-based-cost-estimating-input-and-methods} }
