Estimating time to completion: Uncertain processing times in games

In this article we propose a method that enables computer programmers to generate an estimate of the time remaining in tasks that have uncertain or theoretically unpredictable processing times. The method uses the real-time mean given the time presently elapsed and the number of task components comp...
