Estimating the reliability function for a family of exponentiated distributions. (English) Zbl 1307.62224
Summary: A family of exponentiated distributions is proposed. The problems of estimating the reliability function are considered. Uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimators and maximum likelihood estimators are derived. A comparative study of the two methods of estimation is done. Simulation study is preformed.
