#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 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.

'''Example 3'''
<br>
Calculate the 2-sided 90% confidence bounds on the demonstrated, projected and growth potential failure intensity for the data in Table 9.1.
<br>
<br>
'''Solution'''
<br>
The estimated demonstrated failure intensity is  <math>{{\widehat{\lambda }}_{D}}(T)=\tfrac{{{N}_{A}}+{{N}_{B}}}{T}=0.1050</math> . Based on this value, the Fisher Matrix confidence bounds for the demonstrated failure intensity at the 90% confidence level are:
 
::<math>\begin{align}
  & {{[{{\lambda }_{D}}(T)]}_{L}}= & {{{\hat{\lambda }}}_{D}}(T)+\frac{{{C}^{2}}}{2}-\sqrt{{{{\hat{\lambda }}}_{D}}(T){{C}^{2}}+\frac{{{C}^{4}}}{4}} \\
& = & 0.08152 
\end{align}</math>
 
::<math>\begin{align}
  & {{[{{\lambda }_{D}}(T)]}_{U}}= & {{{\hat{\lambda }}}_{D}}(T)+\frac{{{C}^{2}}}{2}+\sqrt{{{{\hat{\lambda }}}_{D}}(T){{C}^{2}}+\frac{{{C}^{4}}}{4}} \\
& = & 0.13525 
\end{align}</math>
 
The Crow confidence bounds for the demonstrated failure intensity at the 90% confidence level are:
 
::<math>\begin{align}
  & {{[{{\lambda }_{D}}(T)]}_{L}}= & {{\widehat{\lambda }}_{D}}(T)\frac{\chi _{(2N,1-\alpha /2)}^{2}}{2N} \\
& = & 0.07985 \\
& {{[{{\lambda }_{D}}(T)]}_{U}}= & {{\widehat{\lambda }}_{D}}(T)\frac{\chi _{(2N,\alpha /2)}^{2}}{2N} \\
& = & 0.13299 
\end{align}</math>
 
The projected failure intensity is  . Based on this value, the Fisher Matrix confidence bounds at the 90% confidence level for the projected failure intensity are:
 
::<math>\begin{align}
  & {{[{{{\hat{\lambda }}}_{P}}(T)]}_{L}}= & {{{\hat{\lambda }}}_{P}}(T){{e}^{{{z}_{\alpha }}\sqrt{Var({{{\hat{\lambda }}}_{P}}(T))}/{{{\hat{\lambda }}}_{P}}(T)}} \\
& = & 0.04902 
\end{align}</math>
 
::<math>\begin{align}
  & {{[{{{\hat{\lambda }}}_{P}}(T)]}_{U}}= & {{{\hat{\lambda }}}_{P}}(T){{e}^{-{{z}_{\alpha }}\sqrt{Var({{{\hat{\lambda }}}_{P}}(T))}/{{{\hat{\lambda }}}_{P}}(T)}} \\
& = & 0.08915 
\end{align}</math>
 
The Crow confidence bounds for the projected failure intensity are:
 
::<math>\begin{align}
  & {{[{{\lambda }_{P}}(T)]}_{L}}= & {{{\hat{\lambda }}}_{P}}(T)+\frac{{{C}^{2}}}{2}-\sqrt{{{{\hat{\lambda }}}_{P}}(T)\cdot {{C}^{2}}+\frac{{{C}^{4}}}{4}} \\
& = & 0.04807 \\
& {{[{{\lambda }_{P}}(T)]}_{U}}= & {{{\hat{\lambda }}}_{P}}(T)+\frac{{{C}^{2}}}{2}+\sqrt{{{{\hat{\lambda }}}_{P}}(T)\cdot \ \,{{C}^{2}}+\frac{{{C}^{4}}}{4}} \\
& = & 0.09090 
\end{align}</math>
 
The growth potential failure intensity is <math>\widehat{r}_{GP} (T) = \left (\frac{N_A}{T} + \sum_{i=1}^M (1-d_i) \tfrac{N_i}{T} \right ) = 0.04455 </math>.
 
<br>
Based on this value, the Fisher Matrix and Crow confidence bounds at the 90% confidence level for the growth potential failure intensity are:
 
::<math>\begin{align}
  & {{r}_{L}}= & {{{\hat{r}}}_{GP}}+\frac{{{C}^{2}}}{2}-\sqrt{{{{\hat{r}}}_{GP}}{{C}^{2}}+\frac{{{C}^{4}}}{4}} \\
& = & 0.03020 \\
& {{r}_{U}}= & {{{\hat{r}}}_{GP}}+\frac{{{C}^{2}}}{2}+\sqrt{{{{\hat{r}}}_{GP}}{{C}^{2}}+\frac{{{C}^{4}}}{4}} \\
& = & 0.0656 
\end{align}</math>
 
Figure extendedpic7 shows the Fisher Matrix confidence bounds at the 90% confidence level for the demonstrated, projected and growth potential failure intensity. Figure extendedpic8 shows these bounds based on the Crow method.

<br>
'''Solution'''
<br>
For this example, there are A, BC and BD failure modes, so the estimated demonstrated failure intensity,  <math>{{\hat{\lambda }}_{D}}(T)</math> , is simply the Crow-AMSAA model applied to all A, BC, and BD data.
 
::<math>{{\hat{\lambda }}_{D}}(T)={{\widehat{\lambda }}_{CA}}=\widehat{\lambda }\widehat{\beta }{{T}^{\widehat{\beta }-1}}=0.12744</math>
 
Therefore, the demonstrated MTBF is:
 
::<math>MTB{{F}_{D}}={{[{{\hat{\lambda }}_{D}}(T)]}^{-1}}=7.84708</math>
 
Based on this value, the Fisher Matrix confidence bounds for the demonstrated failure intensity at the 90% confidence level are:

& = & 0.09339 
\end{align}</math>
 
::<math>\begin{align}
  & {{[{{\lambda }_{D}}(T)]}_{U}}= & {{{\hat{\lambda }}}_{CA}}(T){{e}^{-{{z}_{\alpha }}\sqrt{Var({{{\hat{\lambda }}}_{CA}}(T))}/{{{\hat{\lambda }}}_{i}}(T)}} \\

& = & \frac{1}{{{\widehat{\lambda }}_{D}}(T)\tfrac{{{\chi }^{2}}(2N,\alpha /2)}{2N}} \\
& = & 5.6325 \\
& MTB{{F}_{{{D}_{U}}}}= & \frac{1}{{{[{{\lambda }_{D}}(T)]}_{L}}} \\
& = & \frac{1}{{{\widehat{\lambda }}_{D}}(T)\tfrac{{{\chi }^{2}}(2N,1-\alpha /2)}{2N}} \\
& = & 10.8779
