Main Page

Provides the functionality of an ALTA standard folio, including entering data in a data set, specifying analysis settings and fitting a distribution and life-stress relationship to the data set. To create plots, use the WAPlots class.

A usage example for this class is available here.

Constructors

  • ALTADataSet Creates a new ALTADataSet object with an empty data set name.
  • ALTADataSet( String ) Creates a new ALTADataSet object with the user-specified data set name.

Methods

Use these methods to enter data points into a data sheet and analyze them. The settings for the analysis are specified with this class's properties.

Add Stresses and Stress Profiles

Add/Remove Data

Analyze Data

  • Calculate Fits the model (i.e., distribution and life-stress relationship) to the current data set using the settings specified in the AnalysisSettings property.

Properties

Use these properties to specify analysis settings and view analysis results, as well as view or edit properties of the data set.

Analysis Settings

Analysis Results

  • FittedModel (as cModel) Gets the fitted model from the accelerated life testing analysis.
  • AnalysisResults (as ALTAAnalysisResults) Gets the likelihood function value that was estimated from the analysis.

Data Set Properties

  • DatasetName (as string) Provides the ability to retrieve or set the name of the data set.
  • FailureCount (as integer) Gets the total number of failures in the data set.
  • SuspensionCount (as integer) Gets the total number of suspensions in the data set.
  • NumStresses (as integer) Gets the total number of stresses in the data set.

Events

The ALTAEvents class contains all the event handlers that can be called by ALTADataSet. To use events, you must inherit the class, override its methods and assign its instance to the Events property of an ALTADataSet. ALTAEvents inheritance is not available in VB6/VBA.

Usage Example

       Declare the ALTADataSet. See ALTADataSet Constructors for additional details. 
       Dim ALTADS as New ALTADataSet
       
       Create a time-varying stress profile. See ALTAStressProfile for additional details. 
       Dim sp = New ALTAStressProfile("Profile1")
       sp.RepeatCycle = True
       sp.AddSegment(1, 250)
       sp.AddSegment(2, 300)
       sp.AddSegment(3, 400)
       
       Add exact failure times to the data set. See AddFailure for additional details. 
       ALTADS.AddFailure(1, 1, sp)
       ALTADS.AddFailure(2, 1, sp)
       ALTADS.AddFailure(3, 1, sp)
       
       Add suspensions to the data set. See AddSuspension for additional details. 
       ALTADS.AddSuspension(1, 1, sp)
       ALTADS.AddSuspension(2, 1, sp)
       ALTADS.AddSuspension(3, 1, sp)
       
       Get the numbers of failure times. In this example, NumberOfFailures will be 3. See FailureCount for additional details. 
       Dim NumberOfFailures as Integer
       NumberOfFailures = ALTADataSet.FailureCount
       
       Get the number of suspensions. In this example, NumberOfSuspension will be 3. SeeSuspensionCount for additional details. 
       Dim NumberOfSuspension as Integer
       NumberOfSuspension = ALTADS.SuspensionCount
       
       Calculate the ALTADataSet using default analysis settings. See Calculate for additional details. 
       ALTADS.Calculate
       
       Use ClearDataSet to clear the data and fitted model. See ClearDataSet for additional details. 
       ALTADS.ClearDataSet
