Stress-Strength Parameter Estimation under Small Sample Size: A Testing Hypothesis Approach

In this paper, uniformly most powerful unbiased test for testing the stress-strength model has been presented for the first time. The end of the paper is recommending a method which is appropriate for no large data where a normal asymptotic distribution is not applicable. The previous methods for inference on stress-strength models use almost all the asymptotic properties of maximum likelihood estimators. The distribution of components is considered exponential and generalized logistic. A corresponding unbiased confidence interval is constructed, too. We compare presented methodology with previous methods and show the method of this paper is logically better than other methods. Interesting result is that our recommended method not only uses from small sample size but also has better result than other ones.
