Description

littlewood.verall.plot plots the mean value function for the Littlewood-Verall model and the raw data into one window.

Usage

littlewood.verall.plot(theta0, theta1, rho, t, linear = T, xlab = "time", 
    ylab = "Cumulated failures and estimated mean value function", 
    main = NULL)

Arguments

theta0

parameter value for theta0

theta1

parameter value for theta1

rho

parameter value for rho

t

time between failure data

linear

logical. Should the linear or the quadratic form of the mean value function for the Littlewood-Verrall model be used of computation? If TRUE, which is the default, the linear form of the mean value function is used.

xlab

a title for the x axis

ylab

a title for the y axis

main

an overall title for the plot

Details

This function gives a plot of the mean value function for the Littlewood-Verall model. Here the estimated parameter values for theta0, theta1 and theta, which are obtained by using littlewood.verall, can be put in. Internally the functions mvf.ver.lin or mvf.ver.quad are used to get the mean value function for the Littlewood-Verall model. This depends on the calibration, if the linear or the quadratic form of the mean value function for the Littlewood-Verall model should be used.

Value

A graph of the mean value function for the Littlewood-Verall model and of the raw data.
