Statistical analysis of stress–strength in a newly inverted Chen model from adaptive progressive type-Ⅱ censoring and modelling on light-emitting diodes and pump motors by Refah Alotaibi, Mazen Nassar, Zareen A. Khan, Ahmed Elshahhat

“…By analyzing the failure times of organic white light-emitting diodes and pump motors, we focus on the inferences of the stress–strength index $ \mathfrak{R} = P(Y < X) $, where: (1) the strength $ (X) $ and stress $ (Y) $ are independent random variables following inverted Chen distributions, and (2) the data are acquired using the adaptive progressive type-Ⅱ censoring plan. The inferences are based on two estimation approaches: maximum likelihood and Bayesian. …”
