Software cost estimation is an essential and important endeavor for the effective implementation of applications development project concerning its price & time plus its direction concerning its monitoring of autonomous applications development jobs. Software cost estimation is the prediction of software development endeavor and applications development time necessary to create a software job. The scheduling is of scheduling Resources, Budget, Time and several equally Precise software cost estimation is regarded as a tricky job as the information concerning the application project to be designed in the time of its beginning and completion remains obscure, thus drives the investigators from both professors and business to research in the exact same. What's more, it's always preferable for any approximation version to be inclusive because precision in estimation versions mutually lies together using their inclusiveness. So software cost estimation procedure being predictive in character hence requires for inclusiveness that will consequently bring inside that the precision. Within this paper, we'll present many versions for software cost estimation according to variants from Artificial Neural Networks which were completed within the research study. One of those models relies on exact choice of drivers as input into an Artificial Neural Network. And others derive from hybrids of Artificial Neural Networks with distinct Meta-heuristic algorithms as utilization of meta-heuristics in forecast issues such as that of program cost estimation is becoming more popularity. Everyone these versions have been experimented with variety of valid data collections.

The primary aim of this chapter is to present an overview of the artificial neural network basics and operation, architectures, and the major algorithms used for training the neural network models. As can be seen in subsequent chapters, neural networks have made many useful contributions to solve theoretical and practical problems in finance and manufacturing areas. The secondary aim here is therefore to provide a brief review of artificial neural network applications in finance and manufacturing areas.

Background: Previous studies of migraine classification have focused on the analysis of brain waves, leading to the development of complex tests that are not accessible to the majority of the population. In the early stages of this pathology, patients tend to go to the emergency services or outpatient department, where timely identification largely depends on the expertise of the physician and continuous monitoring of the patient. However, owing to the lack of time to make a proper diagnosis or the inexperience of the physician, migraines are often misdiagnosed either because they are wrongly classified or because the disease severity is underestimated or disparaged. Both cases can lead to inappropriate, unnecessary, or imprecise therapies, which can result in damage to patients’ health. Methods: This study focuses on designing and testing an early classification system capable of distinguishing between seven types of migraines based on the patient’s symptoms. The methodology proposed comprises four steps: data collection based on symptoms and diagnosis by the treating physician, selection of the most relevant variables, use of artificial neural network models for automatic classification, and selection of the best model based on the accuracy and precision of the diagnosis. Results: The artificial neural network models used provide an excellent classification performance, with accuracy and precision levels >97% and which exceed the classifications made using other model, such as logistic regression, support vector machines, nearest neighbor, and decision trees. Conclusions: The implementation of migraine classification through artificial neural networks is a powerful tool that reduces the time to obtain accurate, reliable, and timely clinical diagnoses.
