dseries {droptest}

Completes multiple series of simulated drop tests.

Description

dseries returns a series of simulated drop tests. Where each test consists of trials (drops).

Usage

dseries(num.series, tag.group = FALSE, group = 0, ...)

Arguments

num.series

Integer. Specifies how many series of drop tests to simulate.

tag.group

Logical. If TRUE, group number is included in output data table. Default is FALSE.

group

Integer. Assigns a group number to each simulated drop test within the same series. Only if tag.group is TRUE. Default is 0.

...

Passes q, max.trials, fail.criteria, and fail.criteria to dtrials. All are optional except q.

Value

Data table of multiple simulated drop tests. Each row of the data.table represents one simulated drop test. Containing the following elements:

• F_CRITERIA The failure criteria specified.

• REACT The total number of simulated reactions (failures).

• NON_REACT The total number of simulated non-reactions (successes).

• TRIALS The number of simulated trials performed until failure condition met.

• MAX_TRIALS The maximum number of simulated trials to perform as specified.

• PCT_REACT The the percent of simulated trials that yielded a reaction (failure).

• Q The probability of failure (reaction) as specified.

• P The probability of success (non-reaction).

• RESULT Whether the simulated test series as a whole failed or passed based on the failure criteria specified.
