1. Engineering Analysis
It measures cost behaviour according to what costs should be, not by what costs have been. Engineering analysis entails a systematic review of materials, supplies, labor, support services, and facilities needed for products and services.

2. Account Analysis
The simplest method of account analysis selects a plausible cost driver and classifies each account as a variable or fixed cost.

4. Visual-Fit Method
In the visual-fit method, the cost analyst visually fits a straight line through a plot of all of the available data, not just between the high point and the low point, making it more reliable than the high-low method.

Coefficient of Determination
One measure of reliability, or goodness of fit, is the coefficient of determination, R (or R-squared). The coefficient of determination measures how much of the fluctuation of a cost is explained by changes in the cost driver.
