PileBetaGR: An R-based integrative tool for predicting the geometric reliability index of piles using load-displacement curves by Xing Zheng Wu

“…The application compiles a series of functions for analyzing load-displacement data: (i) a power law regression is used to fit each load-displacement curve, yielding a set of regression parameters for the site; (ii) a normal copula model is established to fit the joint distribution of these regression variables, allowing a geometric reliability index to be computed; (iii) the critical environmental contour is determined based on the joint probability density function and the limit state function. …”
