Test-Fix-Find-Test Data

This example validates the results for test-fix-find-test data in RGA.


Reference Case

MIL-HDBK-189A, Section 7.5.2, pg. 206, 2009.

For this example, the following will be calculated:

  • Parameters of the Crow Extended model
  • Demonstrated MTBF (DMTBF)
  • BD mode parameters
  • Projected MTBF (PMTBF)

Result

The book has the following results:

  • Beta = 0.9103, Lambda = 0.2397
  • DMTBF = 7.84 hours
  • BD Mode Parameters: Beta = 0.7472, Lambda = 0.1820
  • PMTBF = 11.29 hours


Results in RGA

In RGA, the Crow Extended model with the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) method was used to calculate the results.

  • The model parameters are:
