DISCRATEMTBF

Description: Returns the discovery rate MTBF of observing unique BD modes, 1/h(t), for a given time, based on the Crow Extended or Crow Extended - Continuous Evaluation models.

Syntax: DISCRATEMTBF(Data_Src, Time, [Conf_Level])

Data_Src is the source data sheet from which the information is taken.

Time is the time at which the value is calculated.

Conf_Level is the percentage (entered as a decimal value) for the confidence bounds. It is an optional value and, if specified, must be greater than 0 and less than 1.

Remarks:

The Data_Src can be one of the following values:

If using a default data source, it must be either 1, 2, 3 or 4, as selected from the Data Source Index drop-down list.
It can take a data sheet name (e.g., "Folio1!Data 1").
It can take a variable name defined in the Defined Names window (e.g., datasource).

The Time value must be greater than 0.

Example:

DISCRATEMTBF(“Folio1!Data 1”,100,0.8) = 165.104

Note that this value will vary depending on the source data set.
