... likelihood estimator has been derived using Newton–Raphson iterative procedures. Approximate confidence intervals of the model parameter and their arbitrary functions are established by the Fisher information matrix. Bayesian estimation procedures have been derived using Metropolis–Hastings algorithm under...

... of the component. The method of maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimation is used to obtain the estimators of the parameters and system reliability. Findings The maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimates of the reliability approach the actual reliability for increasing sample size. Originality/value...

...Sanku Dey; Fernando Antonio Moala Purpose The purpose of this paper is to deal with the Bayesian and non-Bayesian estimation methods of multicomponent stress-strength reliability by assuming the Chen distribution. Design/methodology/approach The reliability of a multicomponent stress-strength...
