NASA Cost Estimating Handbook Version Appendix C Cost Estimating Methodologies C-1 February 2015 Appendix C: Cost Estimating Methodologies The cost estimator must select the most appropriate cost Estimating methodology (or combination of Methodologies ) for the data available to develop a high quality cost estimate. The three basic cost Estimating methods that can be used during a NASA project s life cycle are analogy, parametric, and engineering build-up (also called grassroots ) as well as extrapolation from actuals using Earned Value Management (EVM). This Appendix provides details on the following three basic cost Estimating methods used during a NASA project s life cycle: Analogy Cost Estimating Parametric Cost Estimating Simple Linear Regression (SLR) Models Simple Nonlinear Regression Models Multiple Regression Models (Linear and Nonlinear) Model Selection process Summary: Parametric Cost Estimating Engineering Build-Up Cost Estimating (also called Grassroots ) Estimating the Cost of the Job Pricing the Estimate (Rates/Pricing) Documenting the Estimate Basis of Estimate (BOE) Summary: Engineering Build-Up Cost Estimating For additional information on cost Estimating Methodologies , refer to the GAO
