Various methods for evaluating the prediction quality in terms of its variance and modified designs have been established so far, including the Variance Dispersion Graph (VDG) and the Fraction of Design Space (FDS) plot. However, for reliability engineering in particular, they did not allow direction-dependent assessments of the designs as in the case of extrapolation. Thus, a new variant of assessment tool for prediction, the Extrapolation Variance Graph (EVG), is presented here and its properties and strengths are demonstrated using exemplary configurations. %@ 979-8-3503-6774-4
