About the Book

Cost is a driving consideration in decisions that determine how a high-technology system is developed, produced, and sustained.  Critical to these decisions is quantifying how technological and economic risks may affect a system’s cost.  This book provides a comprehensive treatment on how probability methods are applied to model, measure, and manage risk in the cost of engineering today’s advanced systems.  A unique work in the field, Probability Methods for Cost Uncertainty Analysis: A Systems Engineering Perspective provides a careful blend of theory with practice.  Over 100 exercises are included.  An excellent text for preparing for SCEA’s professional certification examination.
