On Estimating Multi- Stress Strength Reliability for Inverted Kumaraswamy Under Ranked Set Sampling with Application in Engineering

Abstract

The terrible operating constraints of many real-world events cause systems to malfunction regularly. The failure of systems to perform their intended duties when they reach their lowest, highest, or both extreme operating conditions is a phenomenon that researchers rarely focus on. The multi-stress strength reliability R=P(W<X<Z)\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$R = P(W<X<Z)$$\\end{document} is deemed in this study for a component whose strength X falls between two stresses, W, and Z, where X, W, and Z are independently inverted Kumaraswamy distributed. Both maximum likelihood and maximum product spacing procedures are employed to obtain the reliability estimator under simple random sampling (SRS) and ranked set sampling (RSS) methodologies. Four scenarios for reliability estimators are considered. The reliability estimator in the first and second cases can be determined by applying the same sample design (RSS/SRS) to the strength and stress distributions. When the sample data for W and Z originate from RSS while those for X are acquired from SRS, the third reliability estimator is calculated. The drawn data of the strength and stress random variables, which are obtained from SRS and RSS, respectively, are taken into consideration in the final scenario. The effectiveness of the suggested estimators is compared using a comprehensive computer simulation. Lastly, three real data sets have been used to determine reliability estimators.
