--- title: "Helper Functions" output: rmarkdown::html_vignette vignette: > %\VignetteIndexEntry{helpers} %\VignetteEngine{knitr::rmarkdown} %\VignetteEncoding{UTF-8} --- ```{r, include = FALSE} knitr::opts_chunk$set( collapse = TRUE, comment = "#>" ) ``` ```{r setup, include=FALSE} library(ReliaLearnR) ``` The `ReliaLearnR` package includes several helper functions to calculate common reliability metrics. These functions include: - `rel(failures, total_time)`: Calculates reliability given the number of failures and total time. - `avail(downtime, total_time)`: Calculates availability given the downtime and total time. - `mttf(downtime, total_time)`: Estimates the Mean Time To Failure. - `mtbf(failures, total_time)`: Estimates the Mean Time Between Failures. - `fr(failures, total_time)`: Estimates the failure rate. This vignette provides examples of how to use these functions. ## Examples To calculate the reliability of an item that ran for 3 years total and was failed for 5 of those days: ```{r echo=TRUE, results='asis'} result <- rel(5, 3 * 365) cat(result) ``` To calculate the availability of an item that ran 3 years total, was failed for 5 days, and had scheduled maintenance for 14 days: ```{r echo=TRUE, results='asis'} result <- avail(5 + 14, 3 * 365) cat(result) ``` The MTTR can be estimated with the base function `mean`. The MTTR for 5 failures with repair times in days of 5, 10, 15, 8, and 12: ```{r echo=TRUE, results='asis'} result <- mean(c(5, 10, 15, 8, 12)) cat(result) ``` To estimate the MTTF for 1000 items that ran for 3 years total: ```{r echo=TRUE, results='asis'} result <- mttf(5 + 14, 3 * 365) cat(result) ``` To estimate the MTBF for an item that failed 5 times over a total time of 45,000 hours: ```{r echo=TRUE, results='asis'} result <- mtbf(5, 45000) cat(result) ``` To estimate the failure rate for 100 items that ran for 5000 hours and had 75 failures: ```{r echo=TRUE, results='asis'} result <- fr(75, 100 * 5000) cat(result) ``` The Exponential failure probability can be estimated with the base function `pexp`. To estimate the probability of survival at time 5 for an item with a failure rate of 0.1: ```{r echo=TRUE, results='asis'} result <- 1 - pexp(5, 0.1) cat(result) ``` The $B_n$ life for the Exponential distribution can be estimated with the base function `qexp`. To estimate the B10 life for an item with a failure rate of 0.1: ```{r echo=TRUE, results='asis'} result <- qexp(0.1, 0.1) cat(result) ```
