Abstract:

The estimation of the probability $\delta=P(X< Y)$ has been an important issue in the stress strength model. In the literature, X and Y are typically assumed independent. We consider possibly positively correlated Type II censored or unrestricted samples come from Moran-Downton's bivariate exponential (DBVE) distribution. The maximum likelihood estimators (MLE) of DBVE parameters are firstly calculated. Then the MLE of $\delta $ can thus be obtained by the invariant principle. Monte Carlo simulations are performed to approximate the confidence interval of $\delta $.

An extensive simulation study is conducted to investigate the performance of the developed method. Finally, our proposed approach is applied to bivariate data sets for illustration.
