FaultTree (version 1.0.1)

ftree.calc: Fault Tree Calculation

Description

ftree.calc performs gate-by-gate calculations from bottom to top of fault tree.

Usage

ftree.calc(DF, use.bdd=FALSE)

Value

Returns a dataframe containing 18 columns for holding data, results, and connection information.

Arguments

DF

A fault tree dataframe such as returned from ftree.make or related add... functions.

use.bdd

A logical determining whether to use the bdd for probability calculations rather than simple solutions.
