Grouped per Configuration

This example validates the results for grouped per configuration data in RGA.


Reference Case

MIL-HDBK-189C, Section 6.2.3.2, pg. 86, 2011.

For this example, the Crow-AMSAA (NHPP) model parameters will be calculated.


Data

The following table shows the data.

Configuration Number Number of Failures in Configuration Number of Trials in Configuration
1 5 14
2 3 19
3 4 15
4 4 20


Result

The book has the following results:

Beta = 0.780, Lambda = 0.595

Configuration i Reliability for Configuration i
1 0.667
2 0.766
3 0.794
4 0.810


Results in RGA

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