Abstract

In this paper three estimators for the reliability function P (Y < X), (MLE, UMVUE and Bayes estimators) are given when X and Y are two independent but not identically distributed Weibull random variables with common and known shape parameter. A simulation studies which compare the estimators are presented. Moreover, sensitivity of Bayes estimator to the prior parameters is considered.
