The following articles describe and analyze Function Points:

	"Software Function, Source Lines of Code, and Development
		Effort Prediction: A Software Science Validation"
	by Allan J. Albrecht and John E. Gaffney, Jr.
	IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, Vol. SE-9, NO. 6
	November 1983

	"Function Point Analysis: Difficulties and Improvements"
	by Charles R. Symons
	IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, Vol. 14, NO. 1
	January 1988

The first article is co-written by Albrecht, the developer of the
Function Point estimation method.  I hope these help.
