Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, we investigate classical and Bayes estimates for stress‐strength reliability (SSR) based on two independent progressive first failure censored samples from beta log Weibull distributions with different shape and scale parameters. The maximum likelihood estimation of SSR and its asymptotic confidence interval are obtained. Bayes estimates of SSR are derived under two different loss functions using the Tierney–Kadane's approximation algorithm. In addition, two different bootstrap confidence intervals are provided and the highest posterior density credible interval of SSR is also constructed by applying Monte Carlo Markov chain method. The performances of different point and interval estimates are assessed using the Monte Carlo simulation. Finally, three real data sets are analyzed for illustration purposes.
