... 5 Following initial investigation of the relationships between the assembled variables and the calculated reliability metrics, the L03 team proposed two model forms: 1. "A detailed deterministic model that uses all of the data being collected to a maximum degree (data-rich model)

Root mean square error (RMSE)
