“…Traditionally, the problem of the estimation of R, based on simple random sampling (SRS), is considered under various distributions of the stress X and the strength Y. For example, in the estimation of system reliability, normal (Downton, 1973), exponential (Beg, 1980), gamma (Constantine et al, 1986;Ismail et al, 1986), extreme value (Lin & Ke, 2013) and Weibull (Kundu & Gupta, 2006) distributions have been used as the distributions of X and Y. For more detailed information, we refer to Kotz et al (2003).…”
