LARGE Estimation of the stress-strength reliability of progressively censored inverted exponentiated Rayleigh distributions

Based on progressively Type-II censored samples, this paper deals with the estimation of R = P(X < Y) when X and Y come from two independent inverted exponentiated rayleigh distributions with different shape parameters, but having the same scale parameter. The maximum likelihood estimator and UMVUE of R is obtained. Different confidence intervals are presented. The Bayes estimator of R and the corresponding credible interval using the Gibbs sampling technique are also proposed. Monte Carlo simulations are performed to compare the performances of the different methods. One illustrative example is provided to demonstrate the application of the proposed method.
