calcSfpofFromPofInt:
Calculate SFPOF results from interval failure probabilities
Description
For the flight-by-flight sequential importance sampling routine of the
crackR package, the default is to output SFPOF at the start and end of
a number of subintervals of flights. Also output in the results
object is the probability
of failure of each interval: pof.int. This function calculates
and "average" value of
SFPOF for each flight in each subinterval using pof.int,
yielding SFPOF results in the familiar format for plotting.
Usage
calcSfpofFromPofInt(pof.int)
Arguments
pof.int
data.frame of the subintervals of a crackR run with columns
indicating the number of flights in each interval and the failure
probability of each interval. pof.int is standard output in a crackR run.
Value
data.frame of SFPOF results for printing or plotting
Details
Like the
interval version of the routine, SFPOF will converge more quickly for
many problems when averaging estimates over a number of flights. Using
this function to process flight-by-flight results will be approximate
within each subinterval,
but these will be less approximate in general than those obtained by
the interval routine.
