Abstract
In today’s time, cost estimation of the project is the major part. Whenever a project is required by any company or organization, then the second major thing along with project requirements comes the cost they can spent on the project. In project management, planning and resources are allocated according to the cost it takes. Only then resources are described and assigned which includes the effort in allocating the resources and time in allocation of resources. In our research we are going to minimize the effort estimation non-linearity using clustering technique called K-means clustering. Then parameters of each cluster are tuned using PSO. These clusters and tuned parameters are further trained using back propagation.
