About Interpreting Extrapolation Results

After you select an extrapolation method (by date or by amount of time), for each segment in the analysis, a dotted green line extends from the last failure date for that segment to the specified date in the future. The future date is calculated based on the date or time units you provided in the Select Extrapolation window. At the end of the dotted green line, a number appears, representing the estimated number of failures that would have occurred at that point in time.

A solid green line also intersects the end date for each segment, and the cumulative operating time at the end of that segment appears on the solid green line.
