Provided for completeness of package only. Oprating line entries are more easily
entered as part of an OpLine system using a spreadsheet, then using RExcel to
"Put R Value -> dataframe" into an R session.
a string that will used to identify the element as a row.name
OpLine
an identifying integer for the OpLine membership.
EventID
an identifying integer for this element
FD
a single capital letter in quotation marks indicating the failure
distribution (i.e. "E"-Exponential, "N"-Normal, "W"-Weibull)
FP1
The first parameter for the failure distribution (MTTF for "E",
mean for "N", characteristic life for "W").
FP2
The second parameter for the failure distribution, else 0
FP3
The third parameter for the failure distribution (only used as a
translation parameter for "W", else 0 )
RD
a single capital letter in quotation marks indicating the repair
distribution (i.e. "N"-Normal, "W"-Weibull, "L"-Lognormal)
note that "E" is not accepted, use "W" with shape of 1.0 instead.
RP1
The first parameter for the failure distribution (mean for "N",
characteristic life for "W", logmean for "L")
RP2
The second parameter for the repair distribution
RP3
The third parameter for the failure distribution (only used as a
translation parameter for "W", or "L" else 0 )
Seed
An integer value to be used as the random seed for this element.
Value
Returns a single row dataframe suitable for combination using rbind with other elements into a single Operating Line.
