Dear UTJS-1,

The penalty score is fully defined in the “penalty score” tab of https://www.phmdata.org/2019datachallenge/

The T6 training data includes the actual crack lengths so you may use the penalty score definition to calculate all scores. The ScoringSpreadsheet was provided as a helpful guide, but is not required to calculate your own score. Please note, the ScoringSpreadsheet that is available for download contains an error with the monotonicity penalty function. The spreadsheet incorrectly uses m = 100 instead of m = 10. Please reference: https://www.phmdata.org/forums/topic/factor-m-in-monotonic-penalty-function/
