Specifies the confidence level to use for confidence bounds calculations. Returns a Boolean value; when true, indicates that a value has been set.

Syntax

.SetConfidenceLevel(Level, Sides, UseConfidenceLevelInPercents, ByRef sError)

Parameters

Level

Required. Double. The confidence level, entered as a percentage.

Sides

Required. The sides setting (e.g., lower bound) for this confidence level. Can be any ConfBoundsSides constant.

UseConfidenceLevelInPercents

Required. Boolean. When true, the result is shown as a percentage; otherwise, it is shown as a decimal.

sError

Required. String. Returns a string for any error results.


Example

VBA

 ... 

 'Add code to get an existing model or create a new one. 
 Dim AModel As New cModel
 ... 

 'Set the confidence level to 90% two-sided bounds. 
 'Declare a string variable for any errors found during this method. 
 Dim ErrorMsg As String
 Call AModel.SetConfidenceLevel(0.9, ConfBoundsSides_TwoSidedBoth, False, ErrorMsg)

 'Confidence bounds calculations are now possible. For example, 
 'the following code calculates the 90% two-sided confidence bounds on the reliability at 100 hrs. 
 Dim ResultValue As BoundsValues
 Set ResultValue = AModel.Bounds_Reliability(100)
VB.NET

 ... 

 'Add code to get an existing model or create a new one. 
 Dim AModel As New cModel
 ... 

 'Set the confidence level to 90% two-sided bounds. 
 'Declare a string variable for any errors found during this method. 
 Dim ErrorMsg As String
 AModel.SetConfidenceLevel(0.9, ConfBoundsSides.TwoSidedBoth, False, ErrorMsg)

 'Confidence bounds calculations are now possible. For example,
