Description Usage Arguments Examples
Provides the approximate cumulative time or cost required for units m through n (inclusive) using the Crawford unit model. Provides nearly the exact output as unit_cum_exact(), usually only off by 1-2 units but reduces computational time drastically if trying to calculate cumulative hours (costs) for over a million units.
