Interval estimation of the stress-strength reliability in the two-parameter exponential distribution based on records

Abstract

We consider interval estimation of the stress-strength reliability in the two-parameter exponential distribution based on records. We constructed Bayesian intervals, Bootstrap intervals and intervals using the generalized pivot variable. A simulation study is conducted to investigate and compare the performance of the intervals in terms of their coverage probability and expected length. An example is given. © 2013 © 2013 Taylor & Francis.
