Description: Returns a table containing the 1-sided time bounds based on a range of probabilities of failure.
Field Format: [TBLBOUNDSTIMEATPROB(Source Number)(Start PF; End PF; Increment; Confidence Level)]
Source Number is the associated data source number.
Start PF is the lowest probability of failure for which a time will be calculated.
End PF is the highest probability of failure for which a time will be calculated.
Increment is the value by which the probability of failure will increase.
Confidence Level is the percentage (entered as a decimal value) for the 1-sided confidence bounds.
Remarks:
The Source Number must be either 1, 2, 3 or 4.
The Start PF, End PF and Increment values must be greater than 0 and less than 1.
The Increment value determines how many rows the table will contain between the Start PF and End PF values. For example, if the Start PF value is 0.1, the End PF value is 0.9 and the Increment value is 0.1, the table will have rows for each 0.1 time increment from 0.1 and 0.9.
The Confidence Level value must be greater than 0 and less than 1.
Example:
[TBLBOUNDSTIMEATPROB(1)(0.1;0.9;0.1;0.9)]
Returns:
