launch_app {serieslcb}

Launch Shiny App

Description

Launches an instance of an R Shiny App, which runs locally on the user's computer.

Usage

launch_app(MonteCarlo = 1000, use.backup = TRUE,
  backup.method = lindstrom_madden_AC, sample.omega = "corners",
  number = 50)

Arguments

MonteCarlo

The number of Monte Carlo samples to take. E.g. In a Bayesian method, how many samples to take from a posterior distribution to estimate the lower \alpha-th quantile. The default value is 1000.

use.backup

If TRUE (default), then a backup.method in the will be used for the methods with calculate LCB = 1 in the case of no failures across all components. If FALSE, no backup.method is used.

backup.method

The backup method which is used for the methods which calculate LCB = 1 in the case of zero failures. The default is lindstrom_madden_AC.

sample.omega

The method used to define component reliabilities. Can be only one of "corners" (default), "random", or "both". See Details below.

number

The number of component reliability vectors sampled if sample.omega = "random" or "both". Default is 50.

Details

If the "Download Histograms" button does not work, it can be fixed by launching the Shiny App on your local browser. This can be done by clicking on "Open in Browser" located at the top of your Shiny App. This seems to be an issue with the Download Handler that Shiny uses.

Define

\Omega = \{(p_1, p_2, \dots , p_m): \prod_{i=1}^m p_i \in [ R_L , R_U ] \}

and

\Omega ' = \{(p_1, p_2, \dots , p_m): p_i = R_L^{1/m} { or } R_U^{1/m} \forall i \}

. If sample.omega = "corners" (the default), then the elements of

\Omega '

are used for component reliabilities, of which there are

2^m

combinations. If sample.omega = "random", then each component reliability is sampled uniformly from the interval

[ R_L^m , R_U^m ]

. If sample.omega = "both", then the results of "corners" and "random" are appended together and both are used.
