Estimation of Multicomponent Reliability based on Progressively Type II Censored Data from Unit Weibull Distribution
Authors: , , ,
Abstract: In this paper, inference upon stress-strength reliability is considered for unit-Weibull distributions
with a common parameter under the assumption that data are observed using progressive type II censoring. We
obtain di_erent estimators of system reliability using classical and Bayesian procedures. Asymptotic interval is
constructed based on Fisher information matrix. Besides, boot-p and boot-t intervals are also obtained. We
evaluate Bayes estimates using Lindley's technique and Metropolis-Hastings (MH) algorithm. The Bayes
credible interval is evaluated using MH method. An unbiased estimator of this parametric function is also
obtained under know common parameter case. Numerical simulations are performed to compare estimation
methods. Finally, a data set is studied for illustration purposes.
