Stress-strength reliability estimation for type-1 pathway generated exponential distribution with applications to AIDS incubation time
share
The Type-1 Pathway Generated Exponential distribution (PGE-1) is introduced. We have considered the estimate of the stress-strength parameter when the stress and strength components are statistically independent and follow PGE-1 distributions with distinct parameters. The point estimate of the stress-strength reliability is obtained using maximum likelihood method. The interval estimates are obtained using asymptotic confidence intervals and the parametric bootstrap method. To verify the performance of the methods developed, an extensive Monte Carlo simulation study has been conducted. The application of the developed results is illustrated on AIDS blood transfusion data.
