Estimation of reliability for a two component survival stress-strength model (Q764469)

Summary: The reliability function for a parallel system of two identical components is derived from a stress-strength model, where failure of one component increases the stress on the surviving component of the system. Maximum likelihood estimators of the parameters and their asymptotic distribution are obtained. Further the maximum likelihood estimator and Bayes estimator of the reliability function are obtained using data from a life-testing experiment. Computation of the estimators is illustrated through a simulation study.
