Steps for Setting Up and Using a Prediction Bayesian File
The following table provides guidance on the steps you take to set up and use a Prediction Bayesian file to adjust the base failure rate calculated for an assembly. In addition to supplying general instructions and descriptions, this topic references other topics where appropriate. These referenced topics typically describe how to perform the actions indicated.
 |
The actions in the following table are numbered to indicate that they are performed sequentially. To successfully set up and use a Prediction Bayesian file, you must complete these actions in the order in which they are listed.

1. Create the Prediction Bayesian file for the assembly.
|
You create and open a Prediction Bayesian file in the same manner as any other file. You then enter the collected test or field data. For more information, see Entering Test or Field Data in a Prediction Bayesian File.
|
|
|
2. In the System file, enable the Prediction Bayesian file for the assembly.
|
To enable a Prediction Bayesian file, you select it for Bayesian Data file, which is shown in the Calculation Data pane when the 217Plus or PRISM model is selected. For more information, see Enabling a Prediction Bayesian File for an Assembly.

|
|
3. Calculate prediction results.
|
You run calculations by clicking Calculate on the standard toolbar or by selecting > . For more information, see Calculating Prediction Results.
