Abstract

The question concerns bump fault class among already-faulty plate records. The secondary ordinary least squares analysis contains 1,941 observations and uses HC3 covariance. The coefficient on log_area is -0.0370, with a 95 percent interval from -0.0452 to -0.0287. The outcome concerns a fault category within faulty records. Its denominator cannot support claims about how many manufactured plates fail. Joint feasibility and partial inspection require additional coverage or defect-free information. The fitted category association can help define a diagnostic question, while a new inspection policy remains a prospective experiment with its own residual-risk measure. The estimates describe the released collection and its conditioning set. No new data collection, simulator experiment, or deployment-policy evaluation is claimed.
