A Computer Program for the Probability of Obtaining S Successes in a Success/Failure Test with Different Conditions.

Abstract

The document contains the theoretical development and user's manual for the PSST digital computer program. This program estimates a distribution function for the probability of obtaining at least S prime successes in a test with N trials under various conditions. The input to the program includes a distribution function of the probability of success in a single trial under each condition. The program was written for a study of the probability that a certain weapon system would pass the scheduled engineering test and can be used for similar studies. This document also describes a digital computer program that combines component data into an estimate of system performance. (Author)
