Nandagopal, I strongly recommend that you buy Steve McConnell's new book, "Software Estimation," Library of Congress number 2005936847. I think this book will...

Hi Vibhanshu, I personally do not find anything wrong with the relationship. Basically, X, Y, Z and A are productivity numbers for various domains from ...
