I am not sure either. Generally you start off a hypothesis, then develop experiments to investigate whether your hypothesis in correct. Within the first few decade levels or so, you should have a rough idea of the trend of SW usage and you may be able to develop a rough mathematical model that approximates the results you are getting. If you are interested in investigating further, I think several researchers have published papers on the subject, and even a working simulation.
