Application Setup RGA Standard Folios Page

The RGA Standard Folios page of RGA's Application Setup allows you to set the default startup configuration for each standard folio data sheet.

• Data Sheet Options

• • Select Enable "Alter Parameters" command to enable the Alter Parameters command in all standard folios. The command enables you to experiment with possible alternative scenarios by allowing you to alter the values of the calculated parameters.

  • Select Use advanced systems view to use the Advanced Systems View by default when you create a new data sheet that offers both the Normal View and Advanced Systems View. (See Normal and Advanced Systems View.)

  • Select Warn when transferring data with excluded events to display a message when you transfer a data set that has some coded events excluded from the calculations. This applies only when you transfer data from a Multiple Systems Event Code data sheet to another type of data sheet.

• Default Number of Systems

• • Use the For 'Multiple Systems - Known Operating Times' data sheets field to specify the number of "Time System" columns that will appear by default in the data sheet.

  • Use the For all other fielded/developmental multiple systems data types field to specify the number of systems that appear by default in the navigation panel of the Advanced Systems View. (See Normal and Advanced Systems View.)

• Statistical Tests. When you use the Crow-AMSAA (NHPP) or Crow Extended models, RGA automatically performs statistical tests on the calculated data set. Use the check boxes to select which test results to display in the Result area of the standard folio control panel.

• • Show Chi-Squared applies to grouped failure times only. The test evaluates the hypothesis that the failure times follow a non-homogeneous Poisson process (NHPP).

  • Show Laplace Trend applies to multiple systems analysis only. The test evaluates the hypothesis that a trend does not exist in the data, and displays in the analysis results whether the system reliability is improving, deteriorating or staying the same.

  • Show Cramér-von Mises (CVM) applies to non-grouped failure times where there are no gaps in the data. The test evaluates the hypothesis that the failure times follow a non-homogeneous Poisson process (NHPP).

  • Show Common Beta Hypothesis (CBH) applies to multiple systems analysis only. The test evaluates whether all the systems in the data set have similar beta values (i.e., operated in a similar manner).

Use the Significance Level field to specify the significance level used in the statistical tests.
