In this study, the stress-strength reliability, R = P(Y < X) where Y represents the stress of a component and X represents this component’s strength, is obtained when X and Y have two independents generalized Gompertz distribution with different shape parameters under progressive type-II censoring. The Bayes and maximum likelihood estimators of stress-strength reliability can not be acquired in closed forms. The approximate Bayes estimators under squared error loss function by using Lindley’s approximations for stressstrength reliability are derived. A Monte Carlo simulation study is done to check performances
of the approximate Bayes against performances of maximum likelihood estimators and observe the coverage probabilities and the intervals’ average width. In addition, the coverage probabilities of the parametric bootstrap estimates are calculated. Two applications based on real datasets are provided.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
