==Confidence Bounds==
#REDIRECT [[Crow Extended]]
In this section, we will present the methods used in RGA to estimate the confidence bounds for the Crow Extended model when applied to developmental testing data. RGA provides two methods to estimate the confidence bounds on demonstrated MTBF and failure intensity, projected MTBF and failure intensity and growth potential MTBF and failure intensity. The two methods are the Fisher Matrix (FM) method and Crow bounds. The Fisher Matrix approach is based on the Fisher Information Matrix and is commonly employed in the reliability field. The Crow bounds were developed by Dr. Larry Crow.

===Bounds on Growth Potential Failure Intensity===
====Fisher Matrix Bounds====
If there are no BC failure modes, the growth potential failure intensity is  <math>{{\widehat{r}}_{GP}}(T)=\tfrac{{{N}_{A}}}{T}+\underset{i=1}{\overset{M}{\mathop{\sum }}}\,(1-{{d}_{i}})\tfrac{{{N}_{i}}}{T}</math> .
 
:Then:
 
::<math>\begin{align}
  & Var({{\widehat{r}}_{GP}})= & \frac{1}{T}\left[ \frac{{{N}_{A}}}{T}+\underset{i=1}{\overset{M}{\mathop \sum }}\,{{(1-{{d}_{i}})}^{2}}\frac{{{N}_{i}}}{T} \right] \\
& \le  & \frac{1}{T}\left[ \frac{{{N}_{A}}}{T}+\underset{i=1}{\overset{M}{\mathop \sum }}\,(1-{{d}_{i}})\frac{{{N}_{i}}}{T} \right] \\
& = & \frac{{{r}_{GP}}}{T} 
\end{align}</math>
 
If there are BC failure modes, the growth potential failure intensity is  <math>{{\widehat{r}}_{GP}}(T)={{\widehat{\lambda }}_{CA}}-{{\widehat{\lambda }}_{BD}}+\underset{i=1}{\overset{M}{\mathop{\sum }}}\,(1-{{d}_{i}})\tfrac{{{N}_{i}}}{T},</math>  <math>Var({{\widehat{r}}_{GP}})\approx \tfrac{{{r}_{GP}}}{T}</math> . Therefore:
 
::<math>\sqrt{T}\left( \frac{{{{\hat{r}}}_{GP}}-{{r}_{GP}}}{\sqrt{{{r}_{GP}}}} \right)\sim N(0,1)</math>
 
 
The confidence bounds on the growth potential failure intensity are as follows:
 
::<math>\begin{align}
  & {{r}_{L}}= & {{{\hat{r}}}_{GP}}+\frac{{{C}^{2}}}{2}-\sqrt{{{{\hat{r}}}_{GP}}\,{{C}^{2}}+\frac{{{C}^{4}}}{4}} \\
& {{r}_{U}}= & {{{\hat{r}}}_{GP}}+\frac{{{C}^{2}}}{2}+\sqrt{{{{\hat{r}}}_{GP}}\,{{C}^{2}}+\frac{{{C}^{4}}}{4}} 
\end{align}</math>
 
where  <math>C=\tfrac{{{z}_{1-\alpha /2}}}{\sqrt{T}}</math> .
<br>
 
====Crow Bounds====
The Crow bounds for the growth potential failure intensity are the same as the Fisher Matrix bounds.  
<br>
===Bounds on Growth Potential MTBF===
====Fisher Matrix Bounds====
::<math>\begin{align}
  & MTB{{F}_{G{{P}_{L}}}}= & \frac{1}{{{r}_{U}}} \\
& MTB{{F}_{G{{P}_{U}}}}= & \frac{1}{{{r}_{L}}} 
\end{align}</math>
 
where  <math>{{r}_{U}}</math>  and  <math>{{r}_{L}}</math>  can be obtained from Eqn. (GPR).
<br>
====Crow Bounds====
The Crow bounds for the growth potential MTBF are the same as the Fisher Matrix bounds.
