Abstract

The problems of estimating the reliability function and P=PrX > Y are considered for the generalized life distributions. Uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimators (UMVUES) of the powers of the parameter involved in the probabilistic model and the probability density function (pdf) at a specified point are derived. The UMVUE of the pdf is utilized to obtain the UMVUE of the reliability function and ‘P’. Our method of obtaining these estimators is quite simple than the traditional approaches. A theoretical method of studying the behaviour of the hazard-rate is provided.
