Different Estimation Methods of the Stress-Strength Reliability Restricted Exponentiated Lomax Distribution

Abstract

Lomax distribution, a large-scale probabilistic distribution used in industry, economics, actuarial science, queue theory, and Internet traffic modeling, is the most important distribution in reliability theory. In this paper estimating the reliability of Restricted exponentiated Lomax distribution in two cases, when one component X strength and Y stress R=P(Y<X), and when system content two component series strength, Y stress by using different estimation method. such as maximum likelihood, least square and shrinkage methods. A comparison between the outcomes results of the applied methods has been carried out based on mean square error (MSE) to investigate the best method and the obtained results have been displayed via MATLAB software package.
